Yes, sounds great on paper, but knowing how acute the Labor shortage is in certain industries, I can only imagine that this won't be applicable.

Well then those industries better increase the salaries, so that the workers don't move to the companies that do offer a 4 days week.

Most of the "labor shortage" comes from companies paying comparatively bad and the country making it obnoxiously difficult to immigrate for work.

Yes, to be honest salaries are definitely lagging behind. Rents are extremely high in most bigger cities, sometimes you need to pay around 50% or more just to put a roof over your head. Buying real estate is literally impossible unless you inherit some money, etc.
