Lunch Time


The chart above shows the percentage of construction and food service workers on the job during each hour of the day, based on 2003-07 data from the American Time Use Survey. Note how the percentage of food service workers on the job (blue line) peaks at noon, just when the percentage of construction workers on the job (red line) plunges as they break for lunch.
