"Get the hell out of here!" — American cartoon (undated, ca. 1930) showing the '4 Hour Day' booting the devil of 'Depression' off a cliff.
Presumably published in one of the Industrial Workers of the World's newspapers.

Psychological or economical?
Honestly I would have to assume psychological considering limiting the workday to 4 hours legitimately slows down productivity.
Was the word even used in a psychological sense in 1930? I'll research...
PS: Freud wrote Mourning and Melancholia in 1917, so it wasn't called 'depression' then.
I have no idea but that’s what it seems like to me.
