The article specifies paid holidays, so it wouldn't make it more difficult to make rent. But I agree that business will do what they can to avoid that, and hire only part-timers like you said. There could be laws introduced to help counter that though. Edit: oops, the article actually doesn't seem to specify paid or not. I'm also guessing the author is used to working salaried positions and not hourly.
