Where Nevada Ranks In Hardest Working States

How hard to we work each day? Well, a recent study shows exactly where Nevada ranks when it comes to the "hardest working states" in the country! C'mon, when you think Las Vegas you think good times, fun 24/7, but as far as the state goes, uh, let's just say we have some work to do!

In a recent article put out by Wallethub, they found out that most Americans will put in about 1,811 hours per year. While that might not seem like a lot for an entire year, but it is more than our counterparts in Germany. However, you will find out that those in Colombia work a bit harder. On the other hand, many of us left over half of vacation time on the calendar for 2022...so that does say something about our work ethic right?

The cool thing about his article is that it breaks it down state by state. In this study, they used about 10 different factors to figure out what state works the hardest. Needless to say, according to the study the state of Nevada isn't real good at keeping it's nose to the grind stone!

Keep in mind that there are a few states that don't work as hard as we do in the state of Nevada. There's not a lot of them, but for instance, the state of Michigan falls below Nevada. We find that a little strange since we consider Michigan a true "blue" collar state. With car factories and more, you'd think that Michigan would rank maybe a little higher on the list?

Also ranking below the Silver State on the list is the state of New York! You would think New York, with the largest city in the country, hard working, day in day out? Not so fast my friend, they come in near the bottom of the barrel!

So, does Nevada come in on the list...how about #45! Take a couple of minutes, read the article and see where your home state comes in on the list. For the Top 5 "hardest working states", scroll down and enjoy!

Never been, but clearly the people of Wyoming put in the time and in the hours! This is why this state is ranked 5th as the Hardest Working State in the country...good on ya Wyoming!

Known as the "cornhusker" state! But these people know how to get the job down. Hard working, honest people that will put in a good days work...putting it at #4 on the list! Nicely done Nebraska!

We're starting to see a trend here...those states with not a lot of people. But rest assured that those that live in South Dakota are not afraid to work...with that thought, it puts the state at #3 on the list! A job well done!

With it being the largest state in the union, it's claim as the final frontier makes you want to work that much harder when you live there. And depending on the time of year, with the daylight hours lasting more than those of other states, you can bet those people that live there put in hours! Coming in at #2 on the list! Congrats Alaska!

Well, they couldn't let their neighbor to the South out do them right? With that said, the "hardest working state" in the country is North Dakota! Putting in the time and the hours...not the most populated, but truly a hard working state! Congratulations to the state of North Dakota!
