Les Leopold thanks for the shout out about the #4DW ony our substack today substack.com/home/post/p-... AI job loss predictions are grossly overstated. That said, AI will cause job loss. People need another day off and it will work for employers. Here's the research:

Americans Are Overworked. Could AI Change That? - by Juliet Schor - Behavioral Scientist AI promises to help us get more done in less time. It’s an opportunity to reverse the trend of American overwork, but powerful structural factors stand in the way.

Excerpt from my new book #FourDaysAWeek out now in @behscientist.bsky.social. Is overwork in the US a deep cultural problem as is popularly believed? No, the country led the world in shorter hours for decades. A #4DW is possible! behavioralscientist.org/americans-ar...

Work time reduction via a 4-day workweek finds improvements in workers’ well-being - Nature Human Behaviour Fan et al. find that income-preserving 4-day workweeks boost job satisfaction and mental and physical health, while easing burnout. Gains are partly driven by improvements in work ability, reduced fatigue and fewer sleep problems.

A large cross-country trial finds that income-preserving four-day workweeks boost job satisfaction and worker's well-being. @julietschor.bsky.social #sociology #4DW

Juliet Schor Makes the Case for a Four-Day Work Week There is a growing body of evidence that shows four-day work weeks do work, and Brigid Schulte sat down for a Q&A with the work-demands scholar who unearthed the findings. Juliet Schor–an expert when...

Did a long discussion with BrigidSchulte of the New America Foundation about all things #4DW.

www.newamerica.org/better-life-...

'Always On,' how workers are suffering from 'infinite' work Juliet Schor told Newsweek "American workers are stressed out, burning out, and disengaged from their jobs."

Microsoft, using Teams data, found that workers have an "infinite workday" and are "always on." I told Newsweek that part of the problem is the lack of protected time off. #4DW is a game-changer for that. #FourDaysAWeek explains why. www.newsweek.com/infinite-wor...
