Recent analysis by WalletHub ranked the hardest-working US states based on ten indicators, including average workweek hours, share of workers with multiple jobs, volunteer hours and unused vacation time.
Using WalletHub's findings, Visual Capitalist mapped America's most and least hardworking states.
While the states with the highest scores are considered the hardest-working, it's important to note that places where people work multiple jobs and go without vacations are unlikely to be those with the happiest workers or healthiest economies.
According to the analysis, the country's most hardworking state is North Dakota, where the employment rate exceeds 98 percent and people have the third-most working hours in the US (39.7 hours per week).
Alaska's residents are the second-hardest-working, with the longest average workweek overall (41.6 hours) and 27.5 percent of workers leaving some vacation time unused.
At the other end of the scale, WalletHub says West Virginia is home to the least hardworking people, followed by New York and Michigan.
