More than a third of Yahoo! HotJobs visitors said they check work email after hours several times per week. While this phenomenon may seem like a necessity for many workers these days (due to the recession), it can also be unhealthy.

Q	How often do you check work email after work hours (nights, weekends)?
Many times per week	36%
A few times per week	10%
Occasionally	13%
Never	17%
I’m not employed	24%
