Oklahoma ranked among hardest-working states

Among all 50 states, Oklahoma ranked No. 6 for the hardest-working of 2019, according to personal financial website WalletHub.

To determine which state worked the hardest, WalletHub studied two factors: Direct work factors, such as average workweek hours, employment rate, share of workers leaving vacation time unused, households where no adults work and idle youth which comprises 16- to 24-year-olds who are neither in school nor working; and indirect work factors, such as average commute time, workers with multiple jobs, annual volunteer hours and average leisure time spent per day.

Each category used a metric based on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 being hardest-working.

Oklahoma earned a total score of 56.81 on the 100-point scale.

North Dakota finished as the hardest working state with a score of 72.85 while West Virginia was last at 30.04.
