Is it, though? What about people who would rather work on a Sunday? Not everyone values it as some special day because it says so in an old book. Maybe they prefer Sunday work because traffic is slow, and they'd prefer a week day off to go skiing or something wen it isn't busy. If every business was closed Sundays, that's 1/7th less employment available. Is that a win?

Skuterud (2005) performs a difference-in-differences study of the deregulation of the retail industry in Canadian provinces and finds that the relaxation and elimination of Sunday trading laws increased employment in deregulated industries by 5% to 12% between 1980 and 1998.
