There’s no doubt Americans work hard, and sometimes even work so hard they fail to take all of their vacation days. But it turns out, workers in some states put in more hours than others.

Well, WalletHub has just come out with their picks for the hardest working states in the U.S., judging the 50 states on 10 key indicators, including average workweek hours, share of workers with multiple jobs, average commute time, annual volunteer hours per resident and more.
