Is this the “most difficult” city in Florida? This is how it formulates

On Tuesday, Wallethub released its list of “most difficult” cities in America in which the areas of the country appear the most.

According to the study, an average US worker only sets a lot of 1,800 working hours a year -188 hours more than the Japan average, 275 hours more than the British average and 456 hours more than Germany.

“Hard work is the backbone of the American economy and a big reason why the country has become so successful when the Americans end up in many other developed economies,” said Chip Lupo, analyst from Wallethub. “In addition, between 40% and 64% of the Americans, depending on the city, at least some of their assigned vacation time leave on the table.”

However, some cities have a better preference for hard work than others, which causes Wallethub to compare the 116 largest cities in the country in the following key factors:

  • Direct working factors ((80%) – includes the average working time lessons, the employment rate, the proportion of households in which no adults work, the proportion of employees who do not use the vacation time, and share of committed workers and idle young people

  • Indirect work factors ((20%) – includes the average pendulum time, the proportion of employees with several jobs, the annual volunteer hours per inhabitant, proportion of residents who take part in local groups/organizations, and the average leisure time per day

Overall, the highest city was on the Anchorage list, Alaska, whereby Washington, DC (No. 2) and Irving, Texas (No. 3), were close to it.

“Anchorage, AK, the residents are the hardest workers in the country, which is mainly due to the fact that it is one of only five countries in which the average person works more than 40 hours a week. Anchorage also has a very high employment rate of almost 97%, so that almost all residents of the workers are busy with a job-or even with several jobs. In fact, 7.6% of employees have several jobs, the third highest rate in the country.

To separate, the average amount of free time that Anchorage residents have in one day is the 8th lowest among the 116 cities in our study.

The capital of our nation, Washington, DC, is the second most of the city, also because it has the highest proportion of employees who have not used the vacation time at 64%. The residents of DC also work on average the fourth hours a week.

The people in DC are ready to work for a relatively long time to work over 30 minutes on average, which further develops on their working day. Outside of work, almost 31% of the residents of the district of members of local volunteer groups or organizations are paid for. In addition, DC has the eighthest percentage of young people who have not been connected in the country. Unwinding young people are people between the ages of 16 and 24 who neither at school nor work or work.

Irving, TX, has the third largest resident, for the most part, because it has the lowest part of households in which no adults work-around 12%. In addition, Irving occupies sixth place in the country in terms of the average number of working hours per week.

One consequence of the hard work of Irving residents is the fact that they have a much lower leisure time compared to people in most cities, the sixth burden of the nation. While Irving workers should be welcomed for their commitment, it is also important to avoid revisions and take some time to relax.

After all, Irving also has the third highest percentage of committed workers. Dedicated workers are people who show enthusiasm for their work and get involved in their work, and people who deal with their workplace are likely to work harder. “

Wallethub, “the strongest working cities in America”
