Young adults are throwing their support behind calls for a four-day workweek.

A new national survey from CNBC/Generation Lab of 1,033 people aged 18 to 34 found that an overwhelming 81% of respondents believe a four-day workweek would boost their company’s productivity, while 19% said productivity would decline.

Those results from the “Youth & Money in the USA” survey come amid discussions around the potential benefits of switching from the standard five-day U.S. workweek to a four-day cadence without a pay cut.

Some companies have begun testing the arrangement, and say it has mitigated employee burnout and strengthened business performance.

    4/day workweeks would be huge for the economy, just like three day weekends are now.

    People would be out spending money even if they don’t go out often with 2 day weekends.

    That’s the worst part, everyone wins if we do it, and we still can’t do it.

      Exactly, it would be better for us, much like higher pay, in a society where we concede we exist to serve the economy. But also, I don’t concede that, the economy exists to serve us. If it fails it must be abolished.
