New York City mayor reportedly starts his workday later than most Americans
The former Democratic contender for president has previously admitted he is “not a morning person."
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio typically starts his workday shortly after 10 a.m. – more than two hours later than when the workday begins for the majority of Americans, according to public data and an analysis by the New York Daily News.
The former Democratic contender for president – who has previously admitted he is “not a morning person” – started his workday on average around 10:11 a.m. in 2018, roughly 52 minutes later than his 9:19 a.m. average start time during his first year in office, the Daily News reported.

A representative for de Blasio’s office did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ request for comment.
