Working dads spending more time at the office

'As part of its annual Father’s Day survey, CareerBuilder found that today’s dads have reason to celebrate and also plenty to worry about.

According to the survey, 84 percent of working dads who were laid off over the last 12 months say they have already found full-time employment. When dealing with layoffs, this news is about as good as you can get. On the other hand, long hours continue to be problematic when trying to spend quality time with children. The survey finds that 22 percent of working fathers are on the job more than an average of 50 hours per week. Last year this figure was only 19 percent.

The result of these longer workweeks can be seen when 39 percent of working fathers spend two hours or less with their children daily, and for 16 percent it’s one hour or less. These figures are also not surprising when you consider that 20 percent of working fathers bring home work at least three nights each week.'
