South Dakota sticking to 5-day workweeks despite major companies looking for 6 days
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) – Last month Samsung decided to mandate a six-day work week for its top executives, due to much controversy. So how are people in Rapid City feeling about this suggestion?
According to a survey done by Resume Builder, 1 in 10 business leaders say their company plans to institute a six-day workweek in 2025. Not only that but 1 in 6 think full-time employees should work more than 40 hours per week. But is this really what the future workforce will look like?
“Where is this coming from in the age where we’re looking to work less days. In fact, a third of the U.S. companies are looking at a four-day workweek right now. This is not the direction we need to be going in and I can confidently say that in my several decades of being a recruiter and a head hunter and job search coach, I have never met anybody telling me they were looking for a position to work more days,” Chief Career Adviser at Resume Builder Stacie Haller said.
This sentiment seems to hold here in South Dakota. In a statement, South Dakota Department of Labor Secretary Marcia Hultman said, “I have not heard of employers requiring a six-day work week in South Dakota. Doing so would seem counter-intuitive in meeting employees’ wants and needs.” Manager Brian Cavanaugh at Roy’s Westside Auto Body in Rapid City says the five-day work week is the most optimal for his company.
“For us, a five-day workweek and we are open from seven to five, Monday through Friday, so those are ten-hour days. We feel that works for us very well. Now we do believe that work and family life is important as well so when somebody comes into work we want to get the most out of them as we possibly can and we want them to feel good about what they’re in a day-to-day here at the shop,” Cavanaugh said.
Haller and Cavanaugh expressed the importance of work-life balance and believe the five-day workweek will continue to be the norm.

(South Dakota News Watch) – Yes. South Dakota is one of almost 30 states that require front and back license plates on vehicles, though there are a couple of exceptions.
Vehicles that are used for “occasional transportation, public displays, parades and related pleasure hobby activities” can use a rear-only plate. The plates cost $25 in addition to the normal registration cost. To qualify, drivers must provide their odometer reading at the time of registration and not exceed 7,500 miles in a year.
Motorcycles are also only required to have one plate.
Why use rear-only plates? Many owners don’t like how front plates take away from the aesthetic of their vehicles. But dual plates are touted as a way to assist law enforcement with crime.
South Dakota offers more than a dozen different types of plates: construction, emblem, habitat conservation, Dignity sculpture, historical, amateur radio license, disabled person, firefighter, EMS, tribal, tribal veteran, veteran and several military plates.
