63% Of Dads Work 40+ Hours Weekly

CareerBuilder's Annual Father's Day Survey finds one-in-10 working dads said their spouse or significant other has become unemployed in the last 12 months, with half indicating that it is causing stress at home. Forty-two percent of those polled are the sole provider for their household and nearly one-in-ten (nine percent) have taken on a second job in the last 12 months to provide for their family. Leaner staffs are creating more demands at the office, making it harder for working fathers to achieve a healthy work/life balance. Sixty-three percent said they work more than 40 hours per week/Consumer Affairs (via Public News Service Twitter). More here.

Question: How many hours do you work per week?
