Hey Austin! Have you heard the news? I just received a tweet from KXAN a few minutes ago about the news. Austin has made another "Top 10 List." This time the "Hardest Working Cities" list. Austin is number four (4) on the list. Out of the top 10, five (5) of them are in Texas. Below is the complete list of the top 10 hardest working cities in America.
Average hours worked per week
Here the lower the unemployment the better. Seattle came up with lowest unemployment rate at just 4%.
Commute time
The longest commute was Chicago, and this survey factored in the average commute time according to the U.S. census.
Employed workers per household
Again using the Census Bureau they looked at how many people in each household are working.
Hours volunteered per year
Some people put in extra hours for various causes that are important to them in addition to their work hours.
Lack of sleep
Are people staying up late zipping emails back and forth with colleagues? In other words, are they losing sleep burning the midnight oil?
Cost of living
Here they looked at the cost of living in each city and figured that those with higher costs would mean that people would have to work harder just to survive.
So there you have it. The top 10 hardest working cities and how they figured the list.

- Seattle, WA
- Arlington, TX
- Fort Worth, TX
- Austin, TX
- San Jose, CA
- San Francisco, CA
- Dallas, TX
- Virginia Beach, VA
- Washington, D.C.
- Houston, TX
Average hours worked per week
According 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.Unemployment rate
