Michigan Is One Of The Least Hard-Working States… Again
Our good friends at WalletHub.com have some bad news for Michiganders, again. They released their list of 2019's Hardest-Working States in America and Michigan is, once again, one of the least hard-working states.
So, last year, we were ranked #1. That's right, Michigan was THE LEAST hard-working state in America. But, not anymore! We are now the 4th least hard-working state in the country! Yay!
The findings from WalletHub were based on statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and many other sources.
