there's nothing wrong with it. It's also not especially wonderful either. Job-sharing of this sort is a kind of unemployment insurance. It doesn't deal with the problem of low aggregate demand, though (like unemployment insurance) it may act as an automatic stabilizer. It does lower _measured_ unemployment (as usually measured). -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
