While most people work a five-day work week, when the hardware costs outweigh human costs, the competitiveness of the modern economy means that leaving a factory idle for two days or an office unmanned is too great an expense. Thus, many workers regularly work on weekends. Since this is seen as a greater burden, most employers pay extra for weekend work, either by agreement or by law. The rapid increase in the number of two-income households has also changed the character of the weekend. Previously the stay-at-home spouse would do the shopping during the week. With both working, most of the shopping must be done on weekends, leaving less time for recreation. To serve these new shoppers it is also necessary for more stores to remain open and thus more people to work on weekends. The functions of the work week and weekend vary a great deal in some areas. Stores that rely on office workers will see far less business on a weekend, while those in the suburbs or in residential areas will see far more. Weekends are days when people can safely sleep in and also not have to worry as much about the ill effects of a hangover, so Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest for bars, restaurants, clubs, and movie theaters. There is substantially less activity on many websites on weekends. One area in which the weekend has remained unaffected is education, where schools are shut on Saturdays and Sundays.

Jugglers in that era would only perform in market places, streets, fairs or drinking houses. They would perform short humorous act
