With only 48% of Americans having used all of their paid time off last year, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on 2024’s Hardest-Working States in America, as well as expert commentary, to find out where Americans are putting in the most effort, as well as where people might need to take a break.

WalletHub compared the 50 states across ten key metrics. The data set ranges from the average number of hours worked per week to the share of workers with multiple jobs to the average leisure time spent per day.
