Most Americans know the tolls that working too much can take on their personal lives and well-being. But a new study shows that the way they work can make a difference too.
One-third of the 1,003 respondents surveyed in the "Overwork in America" study-released today by the New York-based, non-profit group Families and Work Institute-say they feel chronically overworked, while more than half report feeling overwhelmed at some point in the last month by the amount of work they had to accomplish.
More than half of those surveyed complain that during a typical week they have to work on too many tasks at one time and are often interrupted, making it difficult to complete projects. And nearly nine out of 10 surveyed say that while their jobs require them to work hard they don't seem to have enough time to get everything done. As a result, it appears employees are either taking work with them on weekends and vacations—or not going on vacation at all. While 79 percent of those surveyed say they had paid vacation time in 2004, 36 percent were not planning to use it all.
