Public interest in a compressed workweek has grown rapidly over the last decade, especially since the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020. In their working paper, “Days of work over a half century: the rise of the four-day week” (National Bureau of Economic Research, Working Paper 30106, June 2022), authors Daniel S. Hamermesh and Jeff Biddle examine work patterns across the United States from 1973 to 2018, focusing on the number of days worked each week.
