The Hardest-Working City in America Is . . .
This seems like a joke, but apparently it isn’t . . . an annual study says the “hardest-working” city in America is: Washington, D.C.??? D.C. beat all the other hardworking cities that DIDN’T have to over-compensate for all the SLACKERS at the Capitol who don’t get anything done. WalletHub compared the 116 biggest cities in the U.S., using 11 key metrics . . . like employment rates, average workweek hours, and average commute times. Based on that, the top 5 hardest-working cities are:
#1 D.C. . . .
#2 Irving, Texas . . .
#3 Cheyenne, Wyoming . . .
#4 Virginia Beach . . .
#5 And Anchorage.
The LAZIEST city is Burlington, Vermont (Detroit was the second-laziest, followed by Buffalo). Ohio cities didn’t fare too well In terms of the hardest working cities . . .
Interestingly, the “city that never sleeps,” New York City, might be doing a little TOO MUCH partying. It’s 99th out of 116.
Overall, they say the average U.S. worker puts in 1,811 hours per year . . . 204 hours more than the average in Japan, 279 more than the U.K., and 470 more than Germany.
But America isn’t the most hard-working country. That’s Colombia, where they work more than 2,400 hours per year. Mexico is second at 2,226 hours.
Columbus came in #68 (out of 116) . . .
Cincinnati is #89 . . .
And Cleveland clocks in at #109.
