Tis the Season to Shop Online

Online shopping this holiday season is expected to top $19 billion according to ComScore Networks--an increase of 24% over last year. Who is spending all this money? Shop.org provides the following breakdown:

• 50.8 % of people aged 18-24
• 49.2% of people aged 25-34
• 40.5% of people aged 35-44
• 33.8% of people aged 45-54
• 26.0% of people aged 55-64 and
• 17.4% of people over 65.

Employer attitudes about workers shopping online have also softened with an increasing number allowing the practice as long as online shopping doesn't interfere with an employee's work. Saavy companies are even setting up computers for this purpose in company breakrooms and cafeterias to promote appropriate shopping behavior.
