The Washington Post reports on the study from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: "On any given day in 2018, the average American spent a little more than 15 minutes reading for pleasure, down from a high of 23 minutes in 2005. The average TV time, meanwhile, grew by about 20 minutes, to 2 hours and 50 minutes a day." Meanwhile, older people are watching more TV than ever before, particularly American men over 65, while TV viewing has held steady or fallen for Americans under 40.
