EDISON - A recent survey has found that New Jersey residents show up late to work more often than employees in any other state.

The report by Mattress Clarity surveyed over 2,700 American employees about being late to work and found that the average New Jersey worker loses 7.9 minutes per week to lateness.

Mattress Clarity says that the lateness costs employers $122 per employee, per year in revenue – a total of $500 million.

New Jersey residents told News 12 New Jersey that there are several reasons that they were late to work. Some blamed late trains or heavy traffic.

If we were #2 or 3 I’d say “Go in a little later and grab that number one spot!”
