The Post reports today that Americans are wasting about two hours a day at work, twice what employers previously thought was the amount of wasted worktime. In New York State it's even worse: an average of 2.4 hours are wasted every day, costing employers $56.3 billion.

The biggest distraction for respondents was personal Internet use, with 44.7 percent of the more than 10,000 people polled citing Web surfing as their top time gobbler.

Naturally, we deplore this trend. Simply deplore it.
