How Much Money Did You Make This Year While Pooping at Work?

You probably poop at work and you don't clock out to do it, so technically, you're getting paid for that time. Which begs the question: How much money did you make this year while pooping?

If the average person makes $53,657 a year, and works 47 weeks, with three weeks of vacation and 10 holidays, they work a total of 235 work days a year.

Since the average person poops one to three times a day, let's say you spend roughly 10 minutes a day doing it at work, whether that's one longer one or two quick ones.

That means you spend approximately 40 hours a year pooping at work, or one entire week. So the average American made $1,032 moving their bowels this year.

With our labor force around 156 million, that means Americans were paid $160 billion or so to poop at work this year. That's a very rough estimate.
