WASHINGTON, D.C.—For the first time in the nearly ninety-year history of Galloup polling, Americans prefer a good day at work to a bad day of fishing. Thirty-nine percent of U.S. adults selected a good day at work, thirty-three percent chose a bad day of fishing, while the remaining twenty-eight percent had neither worked nor fished a single day of their lives.
“For much of the new remote workforce, a good day of work means sleeping late and doing pretty much anything you want during the day, so I’m not surprised to see this shift,” said August Gudsby, Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisors. “Unfortunately, though, I see this as a harbinger of tough times for the recreational fishing industry in the near term and a complete collapse of our society in the long run.”
In related news, the Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Foundation—a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization—has proposed that the fourth Thursday in April be renamed Take Our Daughters and Sons Fishing While Pretending to Work From Home Day.
