I’d expect something on the order of half of people are probably down for 80% pay for a four day work week (I’d guess the majority of folks making at least 125% of their area median income plus a smattering of others). At that point it’s trading 20% of pay that will leave you still comfortable in return for an extra 50% of free days. That’s a huge amount of extra life in your own terms.
- deeeeplearning 6y agoGiven that productivity has skyrocketed in the past few decades it should be totally unacceptable to need to accept a 20% pay cut for only working 32 hours.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoIf we ever figured out a system where prices like rent weren’t set by the most that people are willing to do, maybe we could finally get more leisure time from our productivity increases. In the meantime, everything is an auction :(
- Tarsul 6y agoactually it's a little (tiny) bit offset by paying less taxes proportionally. So your net income would be like 84% instead of 80%. Doesn't change your overall point, though ;)
