New Jersey Doesn't Work That Hard

When it comes to the hardest working states in America, you have to look pretty far down the list to find the Garden State.

According to a study conducted by WalletHub, the hard-working people of New Jersey rank pretty close to the bottom of the list on this one at #36, or looking at it another way, we're in the bottom third.

You may think you work hard, and I may think you work hard, but when WalletHub combined "Direct Work Factors" with "Indirect Work Factors", they said North Dakota was #1 and we were #36.

We did do better than our neighbors in Pennsylvania (41) and New York (43) if that's any consolation and the least hardest working state in America is West Virginia, which ranked #50 in both categories.

In case you were wondering, New Jersey ranked #37 in direct and #24 in indirect work factors, such as leisure time per day and commute times. You can check out all the data and findings at WalletHub.
