Back in June, I read numerous articles about
vacation time shrinking. The average
paid vacation days in the mid-80’s was 21.
In 2014 the number of days shrunk to 16. More alarming, 61% of
Americans plan to work during their vacations versus unplugging. Detailed below by the numbers are the tasks
employed workers plan to perform:
·
Emailing – 38%
·
Accessing work documents – 32%
·
Phone calls – 30%
·
Texting – 24%

Fielding work related requests – 20%
