A WORK-WEARY LOT.

Fear for their jobs is causing many Americans to work more and vacation less, according to an online survey of 400 adults by VacationCoach, Maynard, Massachusetts. Twenty percent responded that they never took vacations, while 33 percent said they simply had too much work to take time off. Another 11 percent expressed concern that their jobs might be gone when they returned from vacation.
