Nobody needs to tell us that Texas is one of the hardest-working states in the nation, but it is nice to hear every once in a while.
A new study from WalletHub does just that, naming Texas the seventh hardest-working state in the U.S.!
WalletHub analyzed each state on ten different indicators, including "workweek hours to the share of workers with multiple jobs to the average leisure time spent per day."
The top ten hardest working states is as follows:
1 – North Dakota
2 – Alaska
3 - Nebraska
4 – Wyoming
5 – South Dakota
6 – Maryland
7 – Texas
8 – Colorado
9 – New Hampshire
10 – Kansas
Cassandra Happe, an analyst with WalletHub said in the study, "It's undeniable that America has fostered a culture of hard work, with people working longer hours than residents of other developed countries and often leaving vacation time on the table.
"Working hard is commendable, but people in the hardest-working states may need to consider taking a break once in a while, as a lack of leisure time can have a negative impact on people's physical and mental health."
On the flip side, the ten least-hardworking" states include:
41 – Oregon
42 – Ohio
43 – New Jersey
44 – Rhode Island
45 – Nevada
46 – Connecticut
47 – New Mexico
48 – Michigan
49 – New York
50 - West Virginia
