A Word to the Wise – Good Leaders Are Readers. How Much Do You Read? - Collin Garbarino, 7.19.24, World Magazine’s Muse Newsletter
Time to read: Last month, the U.S. Department of Labor released the annual American Time Use Survey, and you probably won’t be surprised to hear that we’re not doing much reading. According to the study, the average American man reads for about 12 minutes a day but spends almost three hours watching TV. The average woman does a little better, reading almost 20 minutes a day and watching TV for only 2½ hours. Americans over the age of 65 read more than twice the national average. I guess that means I’ll have time to catch up on these piles of books once I retire.
