Statistics Norway each year carries out a labour market survey with nearly 10,000 Norwegian respondents. The 2009 numbers have now been published. The survey includes the question "How often are you contacted outside of working hours about work-related issues?" for the first time. 

If you add up those who answer every day, several times a week and once every week, you get 31.9 percent - nearly one third of the respondents.
