How Americans Spend Their Time On Weekdays Vs Weekends
The rhythm of American life changes significantly when the workweek ends.
Weekends and holidays bring more time for rest, recreation, chores, and social connections. At the same time, work and education occupy a much smaller share of the day.
This visualization, via Visual Capitalist's Niccolo Conte, shows how Americans aged 15 and older redistribute their time between weekdays and non-workdays.
The data for this visualization comes from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' American Time Use Survey.
Work Gives Way to Free Time
Work accounts for the largest shift in Americans' schedules. Time spent working and on work-related activities falls from 4.26 hours per weekday to 1.11 hours on weekends and holidays, a decline of 3.15 hours, or 189 minutes.
