    It doesn’t matter how much research there is in support of a 4-day work week.

    I work in appliance repair. I do seven work orders a day on average. Each work order that I close makes me a flat rate between 45 and $100 depending on the kind of work that I do.

    I cannot survive on 4 days a week. That’s 24 work orders that won’t even cover my car.

    The vast majority of people living in this country don’t work in an office. As a matter of fact, last time I checked, I think it was under 15% of the employment force in America works in an office in front of a computer. The rest of us are out there doing something else.

    A 4-day work week is absolutely unrealistic.

      4 day work week in most proposed implementations includes pay adjustmentments to compensate for the lost day. Also the four day work week is focused on hourly work at 40 per week, not cases like yours. I bet if we look we can find a similar proposal for your situation.

    In France they’re trying to start talking about the week in 4 days. Not a 32h in 4 days week obviously, just our full week of work in just 4 days of 10h each.
