Shocked, shocked I tell you! What blogs cost American business:
Blog this: U.S. workers in 2005 will waste the equivalent of 551,000 years reading blogs.
Currently, the time employees spend reading non-work blogs is the equivalent of 2.3 million jobs.
About 35 million workers — one in four people in the labor force — visit blogs and on average spend 3.5 hours, or 9%, of the work week engaged with them, according to Advertising Age’s analysis. Time spent in the office on non-work blogs this year will take up the equivalent of 2.3 million jobs. Forget lunch breaks — blog readers essentially take a daily 40-minute blog break.
