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).
