🖥️ Stat of the Day: Gen Z <3’s Second Screens

84% of Gen Zers admit to streaming shows and movies while working from home—and 48% say they've lied to their bosses about it, according to a Tubi survey of 2,502 US adults that stream for at least one hour/week. On top of that, 52% of Gen Zers say they’re hesitant to return to the office because they’ll lose their streaming time during the workday.

Perspectives: The eyes of company leaders such as JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon are probably twitching at the news. But some HR leaders argue that Gen Z’s streaming may not necessarily impact their productivity—especially since the generation grew up in a digital-first environment.

More Gen Z data: 44% admit to using the streaming login of a former romantic partner even after they broke up, while 73% prefer to watch original content over franchises/remakes (Hollywood, are you listening?).

Zoom out: Viewers are spending more on streaming and paid TV subscriptions in a month ($129) than they are on clothes ($109), per the report.
