The average American worker is only productive for 2 hours and 53 minutes a day. That's just 31% of the average 8-hour workday. Employees aren't oblivious to this either, as a meager 7% feel productive in the workplace.

However, this is not to say that productivity is at an all-time low or has decreased over time. On the contrary, productivity as a whole has increased by 61.8%.
