This infographic is way too ambiguous. Without context these bits of information are useless.

- "85.8% of males work more than 40 hours per week." – What demographic?
- "Severe workaholics can't even relax on vacation without getting sick." – What qualifies a workaholic as severe?
- "24% of workers are thinking about work when they're at home or being social." – So, basically, 3/4 of all workers never think about work when they're not actually at work?

And there's no mention of what makes a person a "workaholic". Unless I'm missing something, all of the numbers referring to "workaholics" seem arbitrary.

A standard work week of 60 hours, wow!  I've researched and written articles that addressed the long hours Americans typically put in compared to other countries.  Hopefully this will give over time. On the other hand, if people are doing what they love while they work (and balancing time with their loved ones) I say follow your heart!
