If you have one worker working four days a week, even ten hours, then you need to have someone else to cover the other day of the business week the first employee is off, assuming your company runs M-F.
It does create another job, but it’s rather expensive and you basically have to already have 4 employees to really use a 5th full time.

I worked for a company where you worked 4 - 10 hour days. So on the first week you would have Friday off, then Thurs, Wed, Tue, then Mon so that you would never have a 4 day weekend. It was great, there was always one of us off.
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.
