Companies hiring this week

As you’ve probably noticed, we frequently reference the Bureau of Labor Statistics in our articles. The BLS is a really helpful resource for data and trends on employment and the workforce. Recently the BLS released its American time use survey, which looked at the amount of time per day in 2011 that Americans spent doing various activities, such as working, household activities and childcare.

Here are some interesting work-related statistics from the survey:

• On days that they worked, employed individuals spent an average of 7.6 hours working. More hours were worked, on average, on weekdays (8 hours) than on weekends (5.7 hours).
• Employed men worked 47 more minutes than employed women. This difference may be due to the greater likelihood of women working part time. However, even among full-time workers, men worked longer than women — 8.3 hours compared with 7.8 hours.
• On the days that they worked, 21 percent of employed individuals did some or all of their work at home, and 85 percent did some or all of their work at their workplace. Men and women were about equally likely to do some or all of their work at home.
