Image
  The job market has witnessed a gradual uptick in the promotion of 4-day workweeks, albeit still constituting a small fraction of employment offerings. From a meagre 0.1% in September 2019, job postings featuring a 4-day workweek have marginally risen to nearly 0.3% in September 2023, as highlighted in a recent report from Indeed’s Hiring Lab.
