Fantasy Football Costs Billions
If you're taking part in Fantasy Football on the job...you can bet it's costing your employer.
A study by Chicago-based outplacement firm Challenger, Gray, & Christmas found fantasy football is costing employers billions due to lost worker productivity.
The firm estimates 22.3 million employed fantasy football owners spend at least one hour a week managing or tweaking their rosters.
And when you calculate the average hourly wage...that ends up being about 6.5 billion dollars across the 15-week fantasy season.
