The Top 200 Hardest-Working American Cities

by Matt Zajechowski

Americans take great pride in their work ethic. However, some people and cities tend to work harder than others. In order to rank the hardest-working cities in America, Kempler Industries recently analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau from nearly 200 cities across the U.S. with a population of 150,000 or more. They then ranked each city from hardest working to least based on five key metrics, average commute, average workweek hours, percent of 16-64 workforce population, percent of senior workforce population and percent of unused vacation days. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale. The full analysis can be seen in the graphic below.
