Top Slacker State? It's Missouri Naturally.

Missouri is No. 1 in slacking off at work
Survey finds average U.S. worker spends two hours a day surfing the Web, running errands or staring into space.

By MSN Money staff and wire reports

A new survey suggests that we’re a nation of slackers -- worse at wasting time at work than even human resources professional suspected. According to an informally conducted poll, the average worker wastes more than two hours a day, not including lunch. Younger workers slack off more than older ones, and men and women waste about the same amount of time

Although gender played no part in time wasting, geography loomed large. The No. 1 state for wasting time was Missouri, where workers who responded to the survey reported slacking off 3 hours and 12 minutes a day.

The top time-wasting states were:

2. Indiana 2.8 hrs/day
3. Kentucky 2.8 hrs/day
4. Wisconsin 2.8 hrs/day
5. Nevada 2.7 hrs/day.

The survey didn't look at why Missouri is the worst in the nation. Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt was a little prickly. "Nobody can match the work ethic of Missourians. This survey, which our busiest citizens did not want to waste their time on, cannot undermine decades of experience. Missouri workers are among the most productive in the world."

I see that Slap and I are helping carry our respective states to a quality top 5 spot. Who on the board is pushing Ky and Wisc to round out the top 5? Isn't WinstonCup from Wisc?

Personally I think the result are a bit distorted because the really, really lazy states were too lazy to even response to the survey.

Of course, you failed to mention that this was not a scientific survey, but rather a survey taken by the people most likely to be slacking off.

And what does that mean anyway? Might just mean Missourian's are more honest than their neighboring state counterparts about how much they are slacking off.

For the record, I slack off 6 hours and 30 minutes of my 7 hour day, on average.

Nah, didn't forget anything. Knew you'd show up sooner or later to critique the article (you being the self-admitted biggest slacker around).

Very true...It could just mean they are smart enough to realize how much they really do slack off also. If I had a dollar for every person who is a lazy slacker but has some how convinced themselves they work hard I wouldn't even have to come into work to slack off in the first place.
