Internet usage in the workplace continues to soar, to more than 42 million office workers last month. That’s an increase of 23% in the last year, according to a study by Nielsen/NetRatings.

“Nearly 15% of all Americans access the Internet from their workplace, and that will continue to grow,” said Sean Kaldor, vice president of analytical services at 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.”

So, what are the employees doing?

According to NetRatings, corporate information sites lead the list with a strong increase in the number of employees making corporate travel plans online as well.
