I don't think that we'd need an exact 66% unemployment rate, because most of the big polluters are already working on a shift system.
I suppose the biggest requirement will have to come from service industries who're currently only doing the nine-to-five grind.
I think the biggest benefit will be in education. Way less kids per class. But then where do you find the teachers?
I fully accept that this whole scheme is utterly and completely pie-in-the-sky, but heck - makes for good speculation... something might just come off it?
MIT can now enroll three times as many rocket scientists, because there's no one-shift limit on infrastructure... and so on and so forth.
