What are the metrics? It looks good but “hard working” isnt a measurement. Is it most jobs, most overtime, highest employment rate?

So… working more hours and not being able to take vacation makes you “hard working”?

No, I don’t think so. That makes you stupid or a victim of abuse

This map makes a lot more sense if you look at it with that understanding. I love that they acknowledge that Dallas is such an ass place to live that they put it on the list 6 times and just to make sure that you know that the entire metro area is fucked.

In america it is usually abuse. Most of us are two paycheck away from actually literally living on the streets. There are no safety nets for the majority of people. It is literally work or die.
