How Men and Women Spend Their Days

By Nathan Yau

For the employed, unemployed, and those not in the labor force, the charts below show the percentage of people doing an activity over a day in 2020. Switch between a weekday or a weekend day. Select activities to see individually.

The dark abyss of work closes when you switch from weekday to weekend.

Notes

The estimates are based on the American Time Use Survey for 2020. I downloaded microdata via IPUMS. I aggregated the data in Python, analyzed and formatted in R, and visualized with D3.js. Inspired by one of the best stacked area charts ever.
