We have got into such a habit of working long hours, one person doing the work of two/three, no lunch breaks, greater technology etc. yet we have too many unemployed. What chance that we can 'slow down', share work out etc.
I can't help but think that the benefits paid out to unemployed may be reduced if public services were funded to employ a bigger workforce, small business given tax breaks to employ more people etc
It might not balance the books any more quickly but I reckon you would have a more content society.
Am I totally naive?
