Is this 4 days at 32 hours a week or 4 days at 40 hours a week? Because one is an actually shorter workweek, the other is just a compressed work week.
First time in my life I've ever considered  moving to Maryland. >

I grew up there, it's all right. Very pretty place with a lot of different geographies within its borders. Good schools, both K-12 and colleges. I think they're getting legal weed soon. But it's an expensive place to live, the weather kinda sucks for half the year (very humid in the summer, chilly but not snowy in the winter), and I didn't really care for the people there.
I'm down in Texas now and I reckon we'll sooner make the state motto "Arbeit Macht Frei" before getting a shorter work week.
