There's no lazing around in Texas, apparently. WalletHub looked at 116 large cities across America to see which epitomized the term "work ethic," analyzing nearly a dozen key metrics in two categories: direct work factors, which includes how many hours folks put in during an average workweek, the employment rate, and how much vacation time goes untouched; and indirect work factors, such as those workers who hold down more than one job, average commute time, and how much time residents devote to leisure each day. The site's survey found that four of the top 10 US cities deemed to be the hardest working can be found in the Lone Star State. See how the rankings fleshed out:
- Anchorage, Alaska
- San Francisco
- Virginia Beach, Va.
- Cheyenne, Wyo.
- Irving, Texas
- Norfolk, Va.
- Corpus Christi, Texas
- Washington, DC
- Austin, Texas (No. 1 in "Direct Work Factors" category)
- Plano, Texas
