The 10 Hardest-Working Cities in America

We work hard, we play hard. I feel like I hear that from people who live in every corner of the country, but what American cities can actually be called “the hardest working cities”?

The finance website Wallethub calculated the work ethic of American cities by looking at a bunch of data, including employment rate, length of the average workweek, unused vacation days, and how many people work multiple jobs.

Wallethub rated cities on a 100-point scale, and the highest-ranking city (which you’ll see at the bottom) scored a 79.
