The results excluded workers in marketing, communications,\u00a0admin and customer support, where social media is an integral part of the job role. The data comes from more than 10,000\u00a0employees across the technology industry.<\/p>\n

While the majority of people in biz dev and sales spend an hour or less on social media a day, 22% spend 1 hour or more.\u00a0That’s above the overall average of 17%.<\/p>\n
