Millennials Want a 4-Day Workweek, , Poll Indicates.

Redfield and Wilton Strategies recently conducted a poll for 'Newsweek' to find out how Americans feel about the idea of moving toward a four-day workweek.

4,000 U.S. voters were surveyed between April 6 and 7.

63% were in favor of a four-day workweek.

46% think the model makes employees more productive.

Out of all age groups surveyed, millennials accounted for 74% of those who want to work less hours.

Of that 74%, 44% "were strongly in favor of a shorter working week," 'Newsweek' reports.

50% of people born in 1964 and before supported a four-day workweek.

The results come as more companies are adopting shorter workweeks, and politicians are pushing to advance the trend in Congress.

Lisa Countryman-Quiroz, CEO of non-profit JVS, called a 5-day, 40-hour workweek outdated.

The five-day workweek was created in a different time.

It served its purpose, but today's world is more fast-paced and technology-driven than our workplace predecessors could have imagined, Lisa Countryman-Quiroz, CEO of non-profit JVS, via 'Newsweek'.

Since implementing a four-day workweek, our results have been incredible.
