Internet Usage At Work Spikes 23 Percent to More Than 42 Million Office Workers, According to Nielsen//NetRatings

The Internet ratings report for the month of June 2001 from Nielsen//NetRatings, the world's fastest growing Internet audience measurement service from Nielsen Media Research, ACNielsen eRatings.com and NetRatings, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTRT), revealed that Web usage at work jumped 23 percent in the past year with more than 42 million Web surfers logging on to the Internet from their personal computers at the office. Across the board, work usage increased as office users logged on more often, visited more sites and spent more time online (see Table 1).

Last month, Internet users at work logged in 43 times, rising 10 percent from 39 sessions a year ago. In June 2000, the average work user visited 28 sites while a year later they frequented 35 sites, marking a 25 percent increase. Time spent online grew to 22 hours and 38 minutes online in June 2001. "Nearly 15 percent of all Americans access the Internet from their workplace, and that will continue to grow," said Sean Kaldor, vice president of analytical services, NetRatings. "The office environment is depending more on the Internet as a comprehensive tool for research, business-to-business transactions and day-to-day office management."

Top Categories at Work
Nearly every Web site category saw an increase in audience traffic. Corporate information sites grew the fastest, soaring 49 percent from a year ago (see Table 2). The finance category surged 42 percent in the past year. Online travel captured the third hottest category, jumping 31 percent.
"Office workers are moving beyond email and integrating more use of the Internet to complete their tasks. From accessing internal corporate Web sites to planning business trips online, workers are conducting many different business-related functions on the Web as part of their daily work routine," added Kaldor.

      Notes: Rankings are based on audience measurement of people who 
have access to the Internet at-home and at-work. Work rankings are 
based on persons at-work who have access to a non-shared personal 
computer. A property is defined as a consolidation of multiple domains 
and URLs owned by a single entity. Reach is a measure of the 
unduplicated audience that visits a property. The data are expressed 
as the percentage of the total universe of Internet users who logged 
onto the Internet at least once during the reporting period.
