From the NY Times, it shows how Americans spend their days. It's based on the American Time Use Survey, which asked thousands of people to record how they spent every minute of the day. It, if interacted with, breaks down into demographic sub-categories for potentially many minutes of data-representational fun. The Times observes some things:
- The average American spends 2/3 of their day sleeping, eating, working, and watching TV
- Unemployed people spend more than two hours a day doing laundry and yard work
- People who aren't in the labor force watch four hours of TV a day
- Hispanics are as likely as whites to be eating at noon, but whites are much more likely than Hispanics to be eating at 6:30

The labor force participation rate is around 66%, but of course, children and those over 65 aren't usually considered part of the labor pool. The dependency ratio of the US is 51/100, so roughly 2/3rds of the population are in the potential labor pool. 2/3 * 2/3 = 4/9 = 44%, and of course, not everyone has a 9->5 job.
Judging by my hit counter, an awful lot of people are on the internet from 9-11 am and 1-9 pm. What does that say about the American workplace?

I think that this post is one of the best that i have read in my life, congrats you did a great job,.
the difference between the content spammers and most corporate innovators is that the smaller
I'm writing to you because I just came across a business that I think has great potential. It lets you save money on almost everything. Make money from almost everything,
If growth is important to a firm, and if growth is dependent on offering existing products and services to new customers
innovation is very natural and happens in the "real world" as new plants and animals colonize new ecological niches.
I wonder how you got so good. This is really a fascinating blog, lots of stuff that I can get into. One thing I just want to say is that your Blog is so perfect
We generally think most specifically about the risk associated with a new product introduction
I would be aware that as somebody who really doesn’t comment to blogs a lot (in actual fact, this may be my first put up), I don’t think the time period “lurker” is very flattering to a non-posting reader.
