The second most popular reason for wasting time was having too long hours (13.9 percent)， being underpaid (11.8 percent)， and a lack of challenging work (11.1 percent)。

　　第二大原因是工作时间太长(13.9%)；其次是薪资太低(11.8%)和工作缺乏挑战(11.1%)。

　　While the amount of time wasted at work seems high, Bill Coleman, chief compensation officer at Salary.com. said the numbers have improved, with the amount of time wasted dropping 19 percent since Salary.com conducted its first annual survey on slacking at work in 2005. Then workers reported wasting 2.09 hours of their working day。

　　尽管看起来被浪费的上班时间很多，但网站的薪资主管比尔·柯尔曼说，从具体数字上看，情况还是有所改观。自从2005年网站首次开展此项一年一度的调查以来，被浪费的上班时间数下降了19%。当时员工一个工作日浪费的时间为2.09小时。

I think (the decline) is really a result of the economy and that there's more business, more work available and less time to sit around wondering what you are going to do with your day," Coleman told reporters。

　科尔曼在接受记者采访时说：“我认为这是经济发展的结果。公司业务更多、需要处理的事情更多，员工们已没有多余的时间去考虑如何打发时间了。”
