on the clock

If you’re reading this article at the office you’re probably a lot like the average American employee — who wastes almost two hours of every workday, according to a report that came out Wednesday.

The annual survey by Salary.com — which polled 2,000 people in the U.S. across geographical, age, job level and industry lines — found that employees waste about 1.7 hours of a typical 8.5-hour day at work.

The top time busters are using the Internet, socializing with coworkers and conducting personal business.

The numbers have declined slightly since 2005, when Salary.com began doing the survey. The average time wasted per day then was more than 2 hours.
