According to google the average American works 1811.16 hours a year.

There are 157M people in the US workforce so that is about 543,348,000,000 work hours a year.

What percentage of the work hours do you think actually goes towards real work? As in work that benefits the company that a person works for.

35.0% & 350% is not the correct answer.

I would guess less than 2% of work hours actually go towards advancing anything especially in large corporations.

That is probably a seriously way too generous number too.

The term paper pusher comes to mind. Even high level management people dick around most of the hours.

At this exact moment, I would guess 15% of the population.

I haven't done much today and I'm on hour 12. But what I did in the first two hours paid for the other 10.

So what's that? A little over 80% of the hours you are at work you didn't do anything?

Right, because 3.50% is the correct answer.
