Plain and simple, when it comes to the “Hardest Working Cities”, where does Las Vegas rank in the country…compared to other cities? Just like you, The Mike & Carla Morning Show wanted to find out as well…where Las Vegas ranks!
According to our friends at WalletHub, they ranked over 100 major cities in the country. They used 11 different categories and gave out points. From the employment rate of individual city to the hours worked in a week.
Where Does Las Vegas Rank As A Hard Working City
With all that said, eight cities in the state of Texas showed up in the Top 20. Arlington, Plano, even Fort Worth, Texas showed up as hard working people. But not hard enough to crack the Top 10!
Sorry California, but clearly you have more things to do than work! San Francisco showed up as a “hard working city”. However, this bay area metro area was the only California city to make the Top 10. C’mon Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento…pick up the slack!
But really, lets get down to the bottom of the list. When it comes to the “Hardest Working Cities” in America…here ya go, the Bottom five:
#112 Toledo, Ohio
#113 Newark, New Jersey
#114 Buffalo, New York
#115 Detroit Michigan
#116 Burlington, Vermont
So, there ya go…at least you know that Las Vegas is not last! Moving on, we should tell you that when it came right down to it, four cities in Nevada made the list. None of them were even in the Top 25. That’s the bad news…the good news, were not the worst!
#79 Reno
#83 Henderson
#86 North Las Vegas
#88 Las Vegas
Again, not the worst, but we think our cities can do a little bit better right? On the other hand, what were the Top 5 “Hardest Working Cities” in the country? You might be a little surprised at what cities made it or maybe not…depending on where you’re from.
To see what cities did indeed make the Top 5, scroll down…and enjoy!
Top 5 Hardest Working Cities
#5 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
We think people work hard there just to stay warm! However, one of the reason people go to Alaska is to work…given that, now wonder the city of Anchorage made it into the Top 5!
#4 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA
Can’t say I’ve been there, but there seems to be something in the water that keeps these fine people working. Enough to the point where the are at #4 on the list! Congrats Virginia Beach!
#3 CHEYENNE, WYOMING
#3 on the list is Cheyenne, Wyoming! Another one of those cities that you have to wonder, “…what else is there to do?” Well, guess what, there must not be much more! A salute to Cheyenne…good on ya!
#2 IRVING, TEXAS
This was only one of two cites that made it into the Top 10. Austin, Texas actually came in at #10, but the city that normally plays second fiddle to Dallas made the state proud. Irving comes in at #2! Now get a RED pin map so you can look like the other cities on this list! LOL
#1 WASHINGTON, D.C.
There might be some debate on this ranking. While we understand that there maybe a few that truly work hard and put in the hours. But with all the politicians there, are they really working or just….you call it! Nonetheless, our nation’s capital is #1 when it comes to the “Hardest Working City” in America! A toast!
