The restricted sample excludes all individuals younger than 20 or older than 65 years old. Moreover, it excludes all individuals not working in the private sector. Therefore, it is more similar to the main sample of investigation presented in Sect. “Data and descriptives”. Both daily minutes working in the main job and working in some other job are considered in this calculation. Other possible locations to work sampled in the ATUS besides the own home or office are: someone else’s home; restaurant or bar; place of worship; grocery store; other store/mall; school; outdoors away from home; library; other place; car, truck, or motorcycle (driver); car, truck, or motorcycle (passenger); walking; bus; subway/train; bicycle; boat/ferry; taxi/limousine service; airplane; other mode of transportation; bank; gym/health club; post office; unspecified place and unspecified mode of transportation
