Based on a representative survey of 2,000 Americans — ages 21 and up — as conducted by Learndipity Data Insights, Budweiser asked respondents about their eating, drinking, and leisure plans for Labor Day 2016. Some of the interesting findings:

BARBECUING VS. MOVIE WATCHING:

– 214 million Americans (67%) plan to fire up the grill this year while 115 million Americans (36%) plan to watch a movie at a theater or at home.
– Other top Labor Day activities include having some quiet time (35%), hiking and other outdoor activities (27%), attending a party (26%), and shopping (23%).
