What Americans Actually Do All Day Long - In Three Charts
The average American spends 9 hours, 12 minutes, and 36 seconds 'Working & Commuting' on an average workday. Wonder what they do with the rest of their precious 'unproductive and non-tax-providing' day?
Here's how the average American with a full-time job spends a typical workday...
... and here's how those hours of Leisure and Cooking-and-Cleaning breakdown...
and for those over 55 years old, things are a little more sleep and play...

If I didn't watch TV I couldn't see South Park, the video version of ZH at its best.
Worrying, a lot! At least the 17 hrs I'm awake. And, that's b/c I can't remember my dreams, but I have my suspicions.
You lost me at "average". What crap.
I'm watching the RNC convention. Does that count as TV or education?
That counts as wasted time you will never recover, and if you watch the DNC convention, it will double that lost time.
STOP... you had me at "hello".
What happend to ...Getting high or having copius amounts of unprotected sex necessitating an unwanted pregnancy and a baby daddy or a baby mama that is forced to get her snap card on at least once a day cause you know how tough a world it is out there....times is tough!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone would know, it would be Cletus! :>D
Lots of tards livin kick ass lives out there. My gay lover was tarded, now he's a nobel peace prize winning economist......
Shit life is hard, snap card, 100 channels of TV, Air conditioning, free everything, shit remind me of why I should be at work again?
Wait. You're a banker with a direct credit line to the Fed?
Romney needs some advice from " Howard Dean"! YES!

% of a day that bankers & politicians spend fucking everything up:
100
% of a day Dangerous Dick Cheney spends sleeping inside a coffin:
50
% of a day Barack "Fake Birth Certificate" Obomber & Mr. Outsourcer Mittens Romney spend not understanding the problems facing America:
100
% of a day Ron Paul would spend actually fixing America...Eh, why bother. Even Dr. Paul's probably had enough beating a dead horse.
Which category does fucking fall into?
Working? Leisure? Eating? or Shopping?
Depends really on whether you Shopped for the fuck or got a mortgage for it.

Only 34 minutes per day caring for children? God help us.
you didn't make your kids alone!
the milkman might be into it also...
Tyler, respectfully
Can we have a "Chuck Norris vs Clint Eastwood" post?
LOL "americans with a full-time job"
Seems like no job, or indentured servant is closer to the truth
it is sad and yes we fuking boomers were on watch when this happened
i always felt i could walk into any town and find work and support myself
still do, as a matter of fact
with no debt and low standards the sky is the limit!
if you're not in debt, you should be ok
if you are, why blame people who don't even know you; people make credit and debt mistakes all day every day; those are personal choices personal debts and personal problems
we need 20 million jobs on the asswipes' dime & dollar, not some fuking "program" or "QE"; they owe us and they know it
we bailed their sorry criminal asses out!
so, they are working on it. overtime
trust me
playing a poker tourney for a small prize
and a b-jack tourney :> smaller
and the bong seems warm
that T^V seems understated but no one evr accused me of doing anything in moderation
Slewie! How's the family? Any ideas on this "bum fuked" Japanese repatriation shtitzbah?
we're doing great. Y/C!
still hanging up on each other all the time
say hi to your mom and don't forget to tell her i think she is hot
i haven't been following too much of the crosswords; i noticed tyler said "carry" back there a ways, but i didn't catch his drift
the EUR/USD seem screwed down tight and the dollar chart Chart for U.S $ s the definition of same
so the time spent watching paint dry is enormous! L0L!!!
but with the EUR superglued by the superpowers-that-be, the action is in the yen and it looks like a little sell-off today; "why" i don't know but the tide always seems to flow somewhere
so that dollar goose^ is yen-ralated maybe? brianSack's new edsel w/ the push-button tranny involved? banksters? L0L!!!
i haven't been much anywhere but here and the casino a few times and out for rides and walks shopping for this and that; i'm trying to keep my eye on tyler while working tirelessly to stay limber for the shuffle-board semis
he is like a teenager in heat with all this PAC money around
see ya!
Youu
prob·a·blyhave it all ready Slewie. Hope it helps. ?/ http://www.forexpros.com/rates-bonds/government-bond-spreads
That gives me about 9 hours and 12 minutes of free time compared to the average American.
I want to spend my day living in a van, down by the river, right next to Clint Eastwood's van.
is that yer e-mail? L0L!!! you sure don't come around much for being here over 2 years... 10 posts in 2012 already! and over double that all-together
i had vans for well over 30 years
well one van, actually; my 307chevy long-WlBase
i mentioned offhand to my son that i had given it to the salvationArmy and a friend had called me from canada and said he'd seen it
i realized too late that my son was not emotionally prepared for this at all:
dad! that was my first home!
we both broke down, just like on the road
it was our 19thNervousBreakdownStones
Your Son will, out-do you 10-fold! Quit your whining! Biatze! I love you and your family!
Quit being an Ass-Clown Slewie! I'm well read/ Moby Dick style ?
Tyler, thanks for this one man, these where some of the funniest comments on an article in weeks, if not longer, I laughed my ass off!!!
Only took me 8 minutes and change to read the article(nice pictures!) and comments so obviously my "time on internet" quota has been reached. Thats BS. Everyone I know is online in their phones the instant they have a chance. Oh yeah! B(L)S and NPR conjured up this false data. They're pros.
...and the worst drivers live where? http://www.forbes.com/sites/jimgorzelany/2012/08/28/cities-with-the-worst-drivers-2012/ Surprise Surprise Surpirse, must be all that Bawney Frank gay pride, ...so hard to drive while screwing yourself and sexting your constituents at the same time you are trying to drive from the White House orgy and then back to Capitol Hill.
Where is all the sex? Am I the only one who has sex 9 hours per day?
Yep you are... and that's why you need to find yourself a girlfriend! ASAP!
From Day(1) I liked you Sudden Debt. You are an honest "person"
You are a good teacher, as well/
Him love him long time! Bwahahahaha!
You, the rest of the unemployed and the last bastion of the merit system, the porn industry.
no time at all for fucking?
Working to pay taxes for social services: 1 hour/day
Working to pay bond debt tax: 9.5 hours/day
Working to pay mafia: 2 hours/day
The cooking part- 19mins a day * 365 / 60 * 8= 40 eight hour days
So kids, how much would you have to make before its justifiable to hire an immigrant chief to cook for you if you can work instead and want a to make 30% more than what you pay the cook for that year?
anyone?
