Technical Data - Caff-fiends!


Hey you there! Yes you, Public Relations worker. Are you a pothead too?

Recently, Dunkin' Donuts and CareerBuilder conducted their third annual study into the most caffienated professions of all. Their results concluded that coffee plays a big role in helping professionals perk up at work. The survey ranked Public Relations professionals as the fourth biggest coffee junkies in the US.. Surprised? I'm not! 

Food preparation/service workers topped the list, followed by scientists and sales representatives. PR and marketing professionals came in at fourth; next came nurses, media workers, business executives and teachers. 


63% of US workers claim to drink at least two magic cups per day, with 55% admitting to drinking at least one. 43% of workers claim they are less productive when deprived of caffeine  Results of the study showed younger workers were slightly more likely to be reliant on their coffee for motivation and energy than older workers. 



The survey was conducted online within the U.S. by Harris Interactive© on behalf of CareerBuilder.com among almost 5,000 U.S. workers (employed full-time, not self-employed, government and non-government). This puts the error margin for results at about +/- 1.43 percentage points.

Food for Thought:
They didn't survey students.
Students are the biggest bunch of coffee guzzlers I know! It would be interesting to see results from that demographic. Speaking of all this coffee, I think I need one now..
