WalletHub ranked the hardest-working Americans by states based on ten indicators, including average workweek hours, share of workers with multiple jobs, volunteer hours and unused vacation time.

According to the analysis, the country’s most hardworking state is North Dakota,  where the employment rate exceeds 98% and people have the third-most working hours in the US with 39.7 working hours.

Residents in Alaska are the second-hardest-working, with the longest average workweek overall with 41.6 hours.

At the other end of the scale, WalletHub says West Virginia is home to the least hardworking people, followed by New York and Michigan.

Colorado is right in the middle. We work hard but we also take our vacation days.
