-—In my experience the rotating day off never worked all that well at the several facilities I saw it tried at, if they were open 5 days a week——

This was back in the 80’s and we delivered auto-paint/supplies to shops. It worked very well for us.

Good point. I could see it creating a few jobs but not many higher skilled jobs. For example, a engineering company that worked a Monday through Friday operation may adjust their schedule to keep their civil engineers working staggered shifts where certain departments may get Monday off while others get Friday off would only have to be worried about hiring say a second receptionist to deal with visitors, mail, phone calls etc. Sure it would create jobs, but in the whole scheme of things it would be very few, something Yang doesn’t seem to understand.
