Regionally there are some 145,000 people in the workforce of the combined counties. Of those people, slightly more than 60,000 work full time - meaning roughly 8 hours a day or 40 hours per week. The traditional view of the average worker is that they have a "9 to 5" type job - getting to work by 9 AM and leaving around 5 PM. The rest of the full time workforce typically might begin anywhere from noon, to maybe as late as 6 PM. The former group I am referring to as "9•2•5ers"; the latter as nontraditional work hours employees.
To begin with the idea that people work typically 9 to 5 is not really true - the majority of full time workers regionally begin their work day between quarter to 7 and quarter after 8 in the morning. They then work 7 to 8 hours and head home. These "9•2•5ers" are actually quite a bit different from the full timers working nontraditional hours. The infographic below provides a look at the 9•2•5ers and their nontraditional brethren.
