The impact on shops would be an interesting one. Staggered shifts would be one approach. With the extra time people have would they spend more time/money in their High Streets?
Obviously from your armchair you couldn't comprehend such impacts.

Whatever happens the profits and the resulting tax revenue will go down. No escaping that fact. EG How's the high street doing?
They may have extra time, but not extra money.
How would staggered shifts work? You still need X number of people on shift at the same time. Shops are just one example. There are a myriad of other businesses and organisations(eg NHS, councils) where an increase in productivity is 100% impossible.
