- alexgmcm 8y agoFrance had other issues though (iirc the employee protections are really strong so it discourages hiring in case you get a bad hire). The problem is that it's virtually impossible to do a controlled experiment.
- xutopia 8y agoIt didn't create more jobs but what about the other effects? Reduced stress on employees and increased productivity during working hours?
