New Survey Reveals 30 Percent of Employees Set to Shop Online at Work

Check that, got presents?

If you don’t have presents but do have an office job, you may be among the 30 percent of workers from a recent survey who revealed they plan to shop online during the work day prior to Christmas.

CareerBuilder’s new survey indicates this statistic specifically applies to shopping online after December 7. In addition, more women than men have shopped online during employment hours compared to men at 43 percent and 36 percent, respectively.

Although many companies have policies for their employees to surf online, we can pretty much surmise surfing occurs for non-work related topics during normal work hours.
