Minnesota One of the Most Hard-Working States in the Country

Wallet Hub put together a list of the hardest-working states in the country and Minnesota ended up ranking in the top 20!

In order to determine which states work the hardest, here's what Wallet Hub looked at:

• Which states work the longest hours in a week.
• Which states have the highest employment rate.
• Which states have the lowest idle youth rate.
• Which states have the highest number of volunteer hours per resident.
• Which states have the lowest average leisure time spent per day.

Minnesota didn't end up in the top 5 or bottom 5 of any of those lists except for the idle youth rate. Minnesota ranked number one for lowest idle youth rate.
