Ok. Let's say we have 4 hour workdays, 4 day work weeks. Not just for white collar.
A business would require to hire 2 more people to cover a 24h continuous prosuction line (3 8h shifts to 5 4h shifts).
there would be more employment and higher productivity. More happiness I suspect.
I'd take it.
A lot has been said about that when talking about universal basic income. The idea is that people could work half shifts and make the rest up under UBI
6 x 4 = 24
you are entirely correct., and the first person to spot my simple math mistake.
thanks for correcting ๐
