Japan looks to jolt consumption by letting workers clock off early

TOKYO Hoping to jolt Japan's limp consumer spending, policymakers and business leaders are considering plans to let workers leave by 3 p.m. on the last Friday of each month to encourage them to shop, dine out and generally spend more.

One hour? Does that include driving home and back?

Even if the drive is long, they only need 5 minutes.
