American Time Use Survey Summary June 22,2011
« on: September 18, 2011, 11:46:45 PM »
It's a couple of months since this came out but interesting read. Bureau of Labor Statistics American Time Use Survey:

My favorite parts:

--Watching TV was the leisure activity that occupied the most time
     (2.7 hours per day), accounting for about half of leisure time, on
     average, for those age 15 and over. Socializing, such as visiting with
     friends or attending or hosting social events, was the next most
     common leisure activity, accounting for nearly three-quarters of an
     hour per day.

--Time spent reading for personal interest and playing games or using a
     computer for leisure varied greatly by age. Individuals age 75 and over
     averaged 1.1 hours of reading per weekend day and 18 minutes playing
     games or using a computer for leisure. Conversely, individuals ages 15
     to 19 read for an average of 6 minutes per weekend day while spending
     1.1 hours playing games or using a computer for leisure.

 --Employed adults living in households with no children under 18 engaged
     in leisure activities for 4.5 hours per day, nearly an hour more than
     employed adults living with a child under age 6.
