Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Andrew Yang says the US should "seriously" consider a 4-day workweek. Some studies show 4-day workweeks increase worker satisfaction and productivity, and Microsoft's Japan subsidiary reported a 40% boost in productivity after trialing the change.

Andrew Yang — entrepreneur, CNN political commentator, and former US presidential candidate — thinks the US should "seriously" consider transitioning to a 4-day workweek to help boost workers' mental health and offer more opportunity for those with unique schedules or needs. "3-Day weekends are better than 2-Day weekends," Yang said in a Monday tweet.
