Survey: Sitting All Day Doesn't Sit Well with Most U.S. Workers

Top Stories | New Equipment Digest: Most U.S. workers sit all day. And make no mistake: They hate it. That's one of the findings of a new survey commissioned by Ergotron Inc., a St. Paul, Minn.-based manufacturer of desk mounts and other office accessories. The survey of 1,000 U.S. workers found that nearly 70 percent of full-time American workers hate sitting—yet 86 percent do it all day, every day. When workers get up from their desks, more than half of them (56 percent) use getting food as an excuse.
