People working 60 hours aren't going to have time to consume services. If everyone worked 30 hours instead, you'd probably see an increase in the demand for services (entertainment, fitness, etc). This would result in an increase in GDP, growth in the economy, and likely more demand for workers.

But that's just my econ 101 knowledge.



Yup, and they'd have time to start their own pursuits or small businesses. It's really a win win.
