  If You Read This You Are Wasting Time

  
  The article doesn't mention time wasted on the Internet. Of course, no one is reading this at work right now.

  No Subject Given

  Wait. Are the British lying about not slacking? Maybe Americans are too lazy, or stupid, to lie?

  not us workers, all workers

  The article says that the worldwide average is 17 hours wasted, but US workers claim only 16 hours wasted. That is better than the rest of the world.
  
  How did you get that the article claims the US is slackers? To me it says that everyone is slackers, but the US is a slight bit less.

    It says everyone wasted time, but it was the US workers who said it was due to procrastination -- which is where the slacking came from. Other parts of the world found more lost time out of meetings, emails etc... not for slacking off.
