A recent study by JupiterResearch seems to have found that people who make more than $100,000 a year have more time. Well, at least more time to dedicate to media outlets. Here’s the breakdown of median hours per week spent doing the activities researched:

Talking on cell phone
affluent people: 6
Everyone else: 4

Listening to music
affluent people: 9
Everyone else: 4

On the internet
affluent people: 17
everyone else: 14

Reading newspapers
affluent people: 4
everyone else: 2

Listening to radio
affluent people: 10
everyone else: 8

Watching TV
affluent people: 15
everyone else: 14

I’m curious to know where the hours go for those making less than $100,000. My guesses are the following: work, childcare, waiting (in line, for public transportation, for health care, etc), cooking. Any other thoughts as to where the time goes? I guess the good news to come out of this is that it debunks the myth that working class people are spending all their time lazily watching television and talking on the phone;)

By the way, the study also found, “A full 26% of affluents read blogs and 11% are blog-authors. Among non-affluent people, those figures are 22% and 6%, respectively.”
