If you're taking the day off due to the Super Bowl, you're far from alone.

A new Harris Poll reveals that more than 22.5 million Americans are missing work today, which is a 40% increase from last year.

According to the poll, only 2% of those taking the day off planned to call in sick, and another 2% intended to 'ghost' their employer by simply not showing up.

A significant portion, nearly 13 million, took a pre-approved day off, while 4.8 million managed to swap shifts with a coworker to avoid working on this Monday.
