Bui, reporting for NPR, shares interactive graphs that demonstrate when people in different career fields are at the office. Via drop-down menus, you can compare the standard workdays of a variety of different fields (here, "Food Preparation and Serving" versus "All Jobs").


If you scoff at pretty visualizations and want to sink your teeth into the data yourself, may I suggest the original government report entitled, "American Time Use Survey" or a related publication by Kawaguci, Lee, & Hamermesh, 2013.


Demonstrates: Biomodal data, data distribution, variability, work-life balance, different work shifts.
