"Direct work factors included average workweek hours, employment rate, share of households where no adults work, share of workers with unused vacation time, share of workers who are "involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to their work and workplace," and the rate of idle youth, meaning residents aged 18 to 24 who are not in school or working and do not have a degree beyond a high school diploma or GED."
"The indirect work factors studied were average commute time, share of workers with multiple jobs, annual volunteer hours per resident, and average leisure time spent per day. The report used data collected in July from the US Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Gallup, and AmeriCorps, among other sources, WalletHub said."
""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," WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo wrote in the report."
WalletHub ranked all 50 US states on resident work intensity using 10 indicators grouped into direct and indirect work factors. Direct factors included average workweek hours, employment rate, share of households with no working adults, unused vacation time, worker engagement, and the rate of idle youth aged 18 to 24 without further education or employment. Indirect factors included average commute time, multiple-job holding, volunteer hours per resident, and average daily leisure. Data came from the US Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Gallup, AmeriCorps, and other sources. North Dakota and Alaska ranked among the hardest-working; Michigan ranked lowest.
