58% of Workers Would Take a Pay Cut for This One Benefit

Americans certainly aren't strangers to hard work. An estimated 40% of U.S. employees regularly put in more than 50 hours a week, while 20% put in more than 60 hours. Throw in the fact that American companies are notoriously stingy when it comes to vacation time, and it's no wonder so many workers feel perpetually chained to their desks.

In fact, U.S. employees are so desperate for more time off that 58% claim they'd be willing to trade an equivalent change in pay for those extra days out of the office. Talk about being desperate for a break.
