It's funny, people make the same argument in favor of 4-day workweeks. So, according to this argument, bot 4-day and 6-day workweeks will lead to more employmen

  When calculating employment I wondered if half a day per week should count as employed. My conclusion was that it should count, but as 1/10 employed. If the normal work week is defined as 4 days and people work 6 anyway we could count them as 6/4 employed. If people work 6 days while 5 is considered normal in the rest of the world they would work 6/5. With 5 days nothing really changes, it is hard to argue something improved without changing anything. I do imagine that managers are a major source of counterproductivity, giving them extra shifts would create more work, perhaps even jobs.

  I have yet to read any formal literature that 6 day work weeks lead to better anything. You get a short term (3-4 week) production boost that very quickly tapers off. But business seem to be stuck with "butt in seat" age mentality, so they aren't responding rationally to this
