San Francisco named one of the hardest working cities in America

Hard work is a way of life in America, but which cities are working the hardest? New research from Kempler Industries says San Francisco is one of them, landing in the 7th spot on the list.

San Francisco residents are putting in over 40 hours of work per week and have a higher than average commute of 32.8 minutes minutes, two elements that certainly help bolster results.

Fremont followed closely, landing in the 15th spot thanks to its long commute (33.6 minutes) and active workforce (73.1%).

Take a look at the data:

• San Francisco: 40.1 hours per week; 32.8-minute commute; 66.4% 16-64 workforce; 18% senior workforce
• Fremont: 38.7 hours per week; 33.6-minute commute; 73.1% 16-64 workforce; 16% senior workforce
