Nearly half of U.S. adults bring their work home and many say work interferes with family life, a new survey finds.

The survey of 1,800 American workers finds work interferes with family, social or leisure life at least sometimes for almost 50 percent of the participants.
* People with college or postgraduate degrees tend to report their work interferes with their personal life more than those with a high school degree.
* Professionals tend to report their work interferes with their home life more than all other workers.
* Working long hours (50-plus per week) is associated with more work interference at home; and the more control people have over the timing of their work, the more likely they are to find it disrupts home life.
