National Football Hangover Day: Whether it’s a food hangover or a booze hangover, a lot of us are moving a bit more slowly today.
According to a recent survey, 17.5 million American workers are not working today, the day after the Super Bowl. Thesurvey, by the Workforce Institute at Kronos, found that 11.1 million employees say they will use pre-approved time off today, but 4.7 million employees said they would be calling in sick – even though they’re not. And 1.5 million workers said they won’t tell anyone they’re not coming in – they just won’t show up. Another 7.9 million employees are undecided and will wait until the last minute to decide whether to show up to work today.
And it’s no wonder lots of people want to make Super Bowl Monday a national holiday -- 40% of those surveyed said today should be a holiday, compared to 32% in 2019. 63% said the Super Bowl should be moved to the Sunday night before Presidents Day, which is already a national holiday.
