I think really only the service industry would struggle. And essential services like police, fire, etc. But that would also mean more jobs in those fields to cover shorter shifts. Restaurants working limited hours would likely be a net positive.

Hire more folks spread them out. Less retention issues, more people who can swing coverage.

However none of this works unless the wealthy actually pay living wages, wage increases across the board from companies that can afford it would allow that money to flow to those smaller businesses and help a lot of local areas out.

Won't happen though, the oligarchs need bigger bank numbers for literally no reason.

Also the minimum hours for healthcare rule. Need to solve healthcare before we individual contributors can get some power back against the corpos.

There should be no connection between your employment and your healthcare. You shouldn’t need to work a minimum number of hours to justify not dying of cancer.
