Pennsylvania is looking for "sleeping at work" advice . . . Oregon's top search is "how to call in sick" . . . and Connecticut wants to know "how to get fired."

2. Several states are looking for something a little easier: Kentucky's top search is "easy jobs" . . . Virginia wants the "LEAST stressful job" . . . Delaware just wants to know "how to win the lottery" . . . New Jersey's top search is "how to become a billionaire" . . . and Maryland wants to know if you can "get paid to watch Netflix."

3. A few states have very specific work-related searches: Louisiana wants "Cajun jobs" . . . people in Tennessee are looking for careers at the store "Hot Topic" . . . Texans are interested in the "corporate GOTH" look, and also "how to become a cowboy" . . . and the phrase "cheese jobs" is popular in Wisconsin.
