Hardest Working State In The USA - Where Does ND Rank?

Unless you have spent time in every state in our country, I'm going to say that this is a tough question to pose to you...

... "Who has the hardest working state in the United States?" - so now how do we boil that down to - there are several categories that this study from WalletHub recently released - First of all, you can ask yourself a couple of questions - "Do you use all your vacation days available to you in a calendar year?" I know of several people who don't.

There are 10 key indicators used in this study

"To determine where Americans work the hardest, WalletHub compared the 50 states across 10 key indicators. They range from average workweek hours to the share of workers with multiple jobs to the average leisure time spent per day..." I said earlier, that unless you have lived and worked in EVERY state, it's pretty tough to guess where North Dakota stands...but check this out!
