> don't expect companies to pay you the same as they did for the 5-day work-week. There's room here for argument and further evidence gathering. I've read of cases where the leap in productivity fully justifies holding pay steady. But admittedly these leaps may or may not hold up over the longer run. Many people might (say) trade a 10% pay cut for a 50% jump in weekly days off. Others can't afford to do that because, well, that's the state of things. But work is becoming a scarce resource, and if you look at the numbers, more is desired (especially. part-time) by pensioners, students, and others. If only health care was state-funded, so that it was not a deterrence to headcount.
