activities than high school students who were not employed. Employed high school students

were not employed. However, employed high school students spent more time doing religious, spiritual,
and volunteer activities. (These data are averages for 2003 to 2007).

- Persons who did homework spent more time doing so on an average weekend
day (3.0 hours) than on an average weekday (2.4 hours).
- On an average day, persons ages 15 to 19 spent 3.1 hours engaged in educational activities, more than
three times as long as individuals in any other age group.
