1. Yes I totally would love it and think all Americans should go to a 10-hour, 4-day work week. Two days off is not enough. The Europeans have far more vacation time than us. What's disheartening is that we spend more days at work than not - at least this would even the playing field a little. It feels like your whole life is there then. I would be in favor of someone starting a movement to change this across the U.S. 2. Officially my answer is yes because I value the time off with my family. However, I would argue that a 4-day work weeks can save companies money (i.e. don't have to pay utilities on the 5th day the business is closed) and therefore the cut isn't needed. And I'm still working the same amount of hours, so why cut?

Would you ever want to do less than 40 hours, so 4 days of 8 hours for 32 hours a week?

  40 hours has been historically used to determine full-time status (and full-time benefits) like health insurance. It's one of the reasons I think this schedule is so hard to get away from.

    I've heard it's a weekly schedule above 32 hours a week

For anything creative or intellectual ten hours makes no sense at all, those extra two hours at the end of the day will be the least productive. Americans should have more days off but not by squeezing the existing work into a shorter period.
