July 8, 2019: In 2018, 31% of full-time employed persons worked on an average weekend day. Not surprisingly, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that more people are working on weekdays. Among full-time workers, an average of 89% can be found working Monday through Friday.[1]
The weekend shifts for many are shorter than weekdays. Those full-time workers who put in time on a weekend day averaged 5.4 hours of work. On weekdays, the average work time was 8.5 hours.
