It’s Monday. If you’re already drunk, this story is for you.
The government just released data on which jobs have the highest percentage of people who drink heavily and get high.
The five jobs with the highest concentrations of heavy drinkers are: Mining . . . construction . . . hotels and restaurants . . . arts and entertainment . . . and utilities.
The five with the most drug users are: Hotels and restaurants . . . arts and entertainment . . . management . . . information . . . and construction.
One last thing: There’s no data on how many people were already big drinkers or drug users BEFORE they started their jobs, and how many started using because of their jobs.
So we don’t know if working at a hotel drives you to drink . . . or if drinking makes you want to work at a hotel.
