   Unions like to claim that they brought us the weekend.  Once upon a
   time workers only got Sunday off, mostly because religion based laws 
   were carried over from colonial days.

   But part of the reason most folks get Saturday off is that it was
   seen by legislators as a way to cut unemployment.  Laws don't require
   Saturday off, and most of the religion based Sunday laws have been
   overturned, but there's a lot of legal pressure to run a 40 hour week
   and a lot of benefit to a business to using the same 5 days as other 
   businesses.

   So you can use a similar argument to claim Frdays off as a cure for
   unemployment.
