LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 11, 2006--There just aren't enough hours in the day for the average American. Terms like "time crunch," "time squeeze" and "juggling" have become familiar descriptions of our everyday lives. It's no surprise, considering the hours we work.
A 2005 Bureau of Labor Statistics study found that women work seven hours a day and men work eight on average and that one in five adults brings work home regularly. That leaves little time for household chores.
