I\u2019m crazy? You might be half-correct. After all, I am the guy who writes stories about the value of fictional homes such as <a title=\"How Much Does Hogwarts Castle Cost?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/novelty-real-estate\/harry-potter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hogwarts<\/a> and <a title=\"The Cost of Iron Man's Mansion\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/novelty-real-estate\/iron-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tony Stark\u2019s mansion<\/a>. But in this case, I think I\u2019m right on the money.<br \/>\nA while back over the Fourth of July weekend, I got to thinking about what traits make America, you know, so American. One that kept sticking in my head was the idea of the American work ethic. The idea that, if you, John or Jane Smith, put in the hours, you\u2019ll climb the social hierarchy and arrive in that land known as Middle Class. Essentially, I\u2019m talking about a meritocracy. You can disagree with me on whether the States actually have a meritocracy, but you can\u2019t debate that the concept is ingrained in our culture.<br \/>\nWhat this all means is that Americans like to work hard.<br \/>\nWith this in mind, I set out to find which cities in America are really bringing home the bacon, probably by walking uphill both ways. I found that you\u2019ll need to get up early in the morning if you\u2019re going to outwork residents in these 10 cities:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a title=\"Seattle Homes for Sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/seattle-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seattle, WA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Arlington Homes for Sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/arlington-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arlington, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Fort Worth Homes for Sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/fort-worth-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fort Worth, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Austin Homes for Sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/austin-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Austin, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"San Jose Homes for Sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/san-jose-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Jose, CA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"San Francisco Homes for Sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/san-francisco-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco, CA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Dallas Homes for Sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/dallas-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dallas, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Virginia Beach Homes for Sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/virginia-beach-va\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virginia Beach, VA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Washington, D.C.

While there might be a blue state, red state divide between the two, it\u2019s good to know there\u2019s something they can agree on, and that is working hard.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re interested in figuring out how I came up with this list, roll up your selves and skip lunch, because there\u2019s work to be done.<\/p>\n<h2>The Hardest Working City in\u2026 Everything<\/h2>\n<p>Frequent readers know the drill. <a title=\"Movoto Real Estate\" href=\"http:\/\/movoto.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a>\u2019s Big Deal Lists look at a number of criteria, in this case seven, and rank them. We then take the average score of all the criteria and calculate our Big Deal Score. Essentially, the city with the lowest average score across all our criteria is crowned the winner, or in rare occasions the loser. We\u2019re looking at you St. Louis\u2014the Most Sinful City in America!<br \/>\nRecently, we have been looking at the country \u2018s 100 most populous cities. For this piece we looked at the 50 most populous cities. Don\u2019t fret, people of Rochester, NY (the 100th most populous city), as we\u2019ll be bringing back the full list in a little bit. The reason we chopped our list in half for this survey is that large sections of the data we used did not have statistics for all 100 cosmos.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s in Elbow Grease?<\/h2>\n<p>My own personal brand of elbow grease includes seven ingredients. In other words, each city was measured on these criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Average hours worked per week<\/li>\n<li>Unemployment rate<\/li>\n<li>Commute time<\/li>\n<li>Employed workers per household<\/li>\n<li>Hours volunteered per year<\/li>\n<li>Lack of sleep<\/li>\n<li>Cost of living<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Below you\u2019ll find a breakdown of each criterion, including the winner of each category. That said, if you just can\u2019t contain yourself and you really, really want to get back to the old grind, you can skip to the bottom of the post where you\u2019ll find a detailed chart explaining it all. I\u2019m warning you though, it won\u2019t be as satisfying.<\/p>\n<h2>Average Hours Worked Per Week<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Timeclock \" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/07\/Images\/clock.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"243\" \/>For this criterion, I looked at the average number of hours people work in a week in each city. I don\u2019t think this needs much of an explanation, but because this is the Internet, I\u2019ll say this: More hours equals more pay. Simple.<br \/>\nAccording the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers in Houston are putting in more time than the rest of us. Resident of the Texas city averaged 37.6 hours of work each week. Coming in second was a three way tie between Fort Worth, Arlington, and Dallas, each with 37 hours. This is likely because the data collected was for the metro area.<br \/>\nAt this point I need to remind everyone that anything over 35 is considered full-time. Keep on trucking, Houston, the rest of us will try to keep up.<\/p>\n<h2>Unemployment Rate<\/h2>\n<p>Working hard means you are actually working. In most places this means you have a gainful employment and are slugging away at your 9 to 5. According to recent reports, the city with the lowest unemployment rate is Seattle, with just a 4 percent of its population out of work. If this number seems low to you, it did to me too. I doubled checked.<\/p>\n<h2>Commute Time<\/h2>\n<p>Technically, commuting isn\u2019t part of your employment hours, but it does feel a lot like work, especially if you have to travel a significant distance before you put in your 8, 10, or 12-hour day. For this criterion we relied on Census data, which estimated the average commute time for each city. The city with the longest commute turned out to be Chicago, though with the recent BART strike in San Fran, I\u2019m willing to bet we had the Windy City beat\u2014at least for a little bit.<br \/>\nAccording to the Census, Chicago residents spend 33.7 minutes on their way to work.<\/p>\n<h2>Workers Per Household<\/h2>\n<p>The goal for this criterion was to figure out how many households in each city have multiple people working. I did this by using Census data to figure out the estimated number of employed residents in each city and the number of households. After some simple division, I ended up with an estimate for the number of working stiffs in each abode. <a title=\"New York City Homes for Sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/new-york-city-ny\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York City<\/a> easily took the top spot with 2.4 workers per household. Right behind was San Jose with 1.49 workers per household.<\/p>\n<h2>Volunteer Hours<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Volunteers\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/07\/Images\/hardest-working-volunteer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\" \/>I know what you\u2019re thinking: What does this have to do with working hard? This is my acknowledgement that your day job isn\u2019t everything. Some people put in extra hours for other causes that are important to them.<br \/>\nWhat I found was that people in Oklahoma City are stockpiling good deeds. The fine folks Oklahoma City had an average of 76.6 volunteer hours per person in 2008.<br \/>\nI\u2019d be remiss, however, if I didn\u2019t explain how I figured this category out and why I used data from 2008. As I mentioned at the start of the article, some data was difficult to come by. Volunteer hours was some of that data. I relied on information found in the Volunteering and Civic Life in America report. I used 2008\u2019s data because it was the most complete. Still, a few cities on my list were missing. In that case I used that average number of volunteer hours on a state level.<\/p>\n<h2>Lack of Sleep<\/h2>\n<p>Around our office\u2014and we\u2019re betting a lot of your offices as well\u2014emails are zipping back and forth as late as 11 p.m., maybe later. We decided to include amount of sleep each city gets every night as an indicator of extra work hours.<br \/>\nWhat I looked at specifically were the number of days in a month that person reported not getting enough sleep. Columbus, which I profiled a few weeks ago, had a highest number of sleepless night at 9.7, essentially a third of the month.<\/p>\n<h2>Cost of Living<\/h2>\n<p>Finally, I looked at the cost of living in each city. Cities with high costs of living ranked higher in this category. My thought was that city where it cost you billion dollars for a burger and fries was a place you\u2019d probably be working hard just to survive. That said, it came as no surprise that San Francisco, home to the billion dollar burger and beer, came in first. (Yes, I cried a little when I saw this. It doesn\u2019t matter how many times I see it, I still cry.)<br \/>\nNow, I should remind you that you\u2019ll probably need to log a few more minutes at the office before you catch the 5:01 home. That is unless you\u2019re Seattle, who I\u2019ve decided is trying to make us all look bad.<br \/>\nNow get back to work!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/07\/hardworking\/table.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"width: 100%\" title=\"Hardest Working\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/07\/hardworking\/hardworking-cities-table.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"cityBottom\">\n<div class=\"cityColumn\">\n<h5>Homes for Sale<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/san-diego-ca\/\">san diego homes for sale<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/houston-tx\/\">houses for sale in houston<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/scottsdale-az\/\">scottsdale homes for sale<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/tampa-fl\/\">tampa homes for sale<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/dallas-tx\/\">houses for sale in dallas tx<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/raleigh-nc\/\">raleigh real estate<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/philadelphia-pa\/\">homes for sale in philadelphia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/phoenix-az\/\">phoenix homes for sale<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/charlotte-nc\/\">charlotte nc real estate<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/austin-tx\/\">homes for sale in austin tx<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cityColumn\">\n<h5>School Information<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/schools\/denver-co\/bear-creek-high-school-080480000697\/\">bear creek high school<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/schools\/la-verne-ca\/damien-high-school-00071639\/\">damien high school<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/schools\/dana-point-ca\/dana-hills-high-school-060744000689\/\">dana hills high school<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/schools\/smyrna-de\/smyrna-school-district-1001620\/\">smyrna school district<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/schools\/cordova-tn\/briarcrest-christian-school-leawood-campus-a0503282\/\">briarcrest christian school<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/schools\/santee-ca\/santana-high-school-061623002026\/\">santana high school<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/schools\/exton-pa\/collegium-charter-school-420005000485\/\">collegium charter school exton pa<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/schools\/sanford-fl\/sanford-middle-school-120171001871\/\">sanford middle school<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/schools\/orlando-fl\/orlando-science-schools-middle-and-high-charter-school-120144007458\/\">orlando science school<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/schools\/julian-ca\/julian-charter-school-061914008596\/\">julian charter school<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cityColumn\">\n<h5>Real Estate Resources<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/charleston-sc\/\">houses for sale in charleston sc<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/orlando-fl\/\">homes for sale orlando fl<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/los-angeles-ca\/\">la real estate<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/nashville-tn\/\">nashville mls<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/las-vegas-nv\/\">homes for sale las vegas<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/san-francisco-ca\/\">real estate san francisco<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/miami-fl\/\">real estate miami<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/denver-co\/\">houses for sale in denver<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/\">real estate rentals<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/fort-lauderdale-fl\/\">ft lauderdale real estate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2013\/07\/Images\/blog-tile-hard-working.jpg\" class=\"excerpt\" \/>Lace up your boots and roll up your sleeves!
