How Clean is Your Desk?


According to a recent story from MSN, my desk...or Your desk is 400 times dirtier that a toilet. The report goes on to say that the average desktop has over ten million germs. Researchers state because we spend so much time at our desks these days, our desks are dirtier. In addition, many workers don't leave their cubical for lunch or snacks only adding to the germ build up.
There are, however, dirtier places to work...the top five germiest jobs include the following:
  1. Teacher -- 17,800 bacteria per square inch
  2. Accountant -- 6,030 bacteria per square inch
  3. Banker -- 5,400 bacteria per square inch
  4. Radio DJ -- 3,323 bacteria per square inch
  5. Doctor -- 2,620 bacteria per square inch

By comparison, the average toilet seat has 1,000 bacteria per square inch. Pretty gross, huh?
