It's hysterical because the conservatives in the South are always saying how those pansy liberals wouldn't know a hard day's work if it hit them in the head. And here you have evidence that many of those states are among the worst and the rest are orange.
The hardest working states are the ones right down the middle, from North Dakota to Texas. The least hardworking are generally the northeast (excepting the redder states of NH and ME) and west coast.
Somewhat unsurprising if you realize that most of the states down the middle have some of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation--e.g., North Dakota has an unemployment rate under 2%, whereas states like California, Washington, and New York have some of the highest.
Hardest working also factors in rates of overtime or multiple jobs (i.e., average hours worked per week), so realistically you want to be somewhere like Mass or Vermont (and others) that have both low unemployment and reasonable weekly hours.
That makes those states less "hardworking," but I would bet the standard of living/happiness indices are higher in those states. Regardless, by these metrics and in general, red states do work more hours and have more of their state's people gainfully employed.
Thanks for this info! I really appreciate learning more.
