(NEW YORK) -- If you spend part of your work day chatting with fellow employees about non-work related matters or searching for stuff on the Internet, you’re not alone. 

A new survey on the average American work day by CareerBuilder.com finds those two activities to be the most common office distractions:

• Chatting with co-workers about non-work related stuff: 34 percent



• Internet searches: 22 percent



• Loud co-workers: 18 percent



• Personal calls or emails: 17 percent



• Office drama: 15 percent



• Daydreaming: 11 percent



• Gossip: 7 percent



• Watching TV in the break room: 2 percent



• Not understanding how to do the work: 4 percent

Not surprising, the survey finds 41 percent of respondents admitting that they spend just six hours of an eight-hour day actually working.  Employees were asked how much time they spend actually working on a daily basis:

• Eight hours: 38 percent



• Seven hours: 21 percent



• Six hours: 18 percent



• Five hours: 11 percent



• Four hours or less: 12 percent

The study of more than 3,900 U.S. workers was conducted online by Harris Interactive from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30, 2012.
