We should reduce full time employment to 30 hours.
You'd probably end up with nearly equal productivity for office staff, and you'd generate more jobs for shift based work, as you would need 30% more workers to cover a 5-day period.
This was one of the drivers of the 40-hour workweek -- previously, 12 hour days + saturday work were considered the norm.
