During a horrible recession, the unemployed seem to be do the bulk of their job searching between 9 and 11am. It also seems the unemployed spend more time traveling than they do trying to get a new job.

Apparently only two percent of this society think or relax.

From this graph, I can deduce that people do not know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

People with Bachelor’s degrees work more than those without.

White people have much more pronounced meal times than Black or Hispanic people.

2% of unemployed are talking on the phone at 3am.

Nobody masturbates significantly.

People who could get paid more give up more time for free.

Employed people’s travel and work are complementarily bumpy, travel peaking at 10 and 40 past the hour and work at 20 and 50.

You sound far more trusting of this data than you normally are – why are you not pointing out that people’s recollections are likely to be influenced by what they would like to signal that they were doing?

Also, 7 minutes average surfing the internet?!
