"Get the hell out of here!" — American cartoon (undated, ca. 1930) showing the '4 Hour Day' booting the devil of 'Depression' off a cliff.
Presumably published in one of the Industrial Workers of the World's newspapers.

Honestly I would have to assume psychological considering limiting the workday to 4 hours legitimately slows down productivity.
I think the idea here is another shift would cover the other 4 hours which would relieve unployment.
Yeah you’re probably right. That makes more sense for sure.
Was the word even used in a psychological sense in 1930? I'll research...
PS: Freud wrote Mourning and Melancholia in 1917, so it wasn't called 'depression' then.
I have no idea but that’s what it seems like to me.
But it would allow you to hire more workers and lower unemployment and raise consumption, which is what the economy actually is
Probably would have helped a lot
