Happy Thursday, Daily Money readers! It's Paul Davidson bringing you the latest news. |
You may be reading this on a Caribbean island or at a cabin in the Berkshires, blissfully detached from the mundane demands of the office. |
But there's a good chance you're combining some holiday downtime at home or elsewhere with a little work. |
Sixty-eight percent of employees acknowledge they work during vacations and holidays, according to a recent survey of 2,300 workers in the U.S. and Canada by ELVTR, an online learning platform. |
And almost half of non-retail employees expected to work during the current winter holidays, according to a separate survey by CalendarLabs. Twenty-four percent planned to work Christmas Eve, 12% on Christmas Day and 19% on New Year's Day. |
Much of the holiday work will occur at home, with remote employees far more likely than their colleagues to have toiled some on Christmas. |
Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance lifts Kansas City economy |

The city is buzzing about all the places the couple are hanging out, such as Prime Social, the restaurant where Swelce – the Internet's moniker for the duo – dined following Swift's first TV appearance during a Chiefs game. Since then, the trendy spot has received 4,900% more Google searches. |
