Good things come to those that work hard. How often have we heard that phrase throughout our lives?
Well, if you want hard-working people, look no further than Irving. The city was recently named the second hardest-working city in the nation, according to a new study from WalletHub!
WalletHub found their rankings based on 11 different metrics, including “employment rate to average weekly work hours to the share of workers with multiple jobs.”
Based on these keys, Irving came in only behind Washington D.C. as the second hardest-working city in the nation.
WalletHub said this about Irving:
Irving, TX is the second-most hardworking city, in large part because it has the lowest share of households where no adult works – only 11%. In addition, Irving ranks ninth in the country in terms of the mean number of hours worked per week.
One consequence of Irving residents’ hard work is the fact that they have a much lower amount of leisure time compared to people in most cities. While Irving workers should be applauded for their dedication, it’s also important to avoid overwork and take some time to relax.
Dallas wasn’t far behind in the list, coming in at No. 7, with Plano, Fort Worth, and Arlington ranking at No. 13, 14, and 15, respectively.
