August 31, 2020
Among all 50 states, North Dakota ranked No. 1 in hardest-working of 2020, according to WalletHub.
This is the second year in a row North Dakota has earned the title from the study.
To determine which state worked the hardest, WalletHub studied two factors: Direct work factors, such as average workweek hours, employment rate, share of workers leaving vacation time unused, households where no adults work and idle youth which consists of 16- to 24-year-olds who are neither in school or working; and indirect work factors, such as average commute time, workers with multiple jobs, annual volunteer hours and average leisure time spent per day.
