Bernie Sanders Home is Least Hardest-Working City in U.S.

The city where Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders launched his political career and still resides, Burlington, Vt., is dead last in a new list of the nation’s hardest-working cities.

Burlington comes in at No. 116 in a WalletHub survey of the nation's largest cities, which conducted the ranking in honor of the annual Employee Appreciation Day, set for this Friday, March 4.

WalletHub’s analysts compared the 116 largest cities based on six key metrics to recognize the hardest workers in the U.S. The data set ranges from “labor force participation rate” to “average weekly work hours” to “number of workers with multiple jobs.”

Anchorage, AK, is the nation's hardest working city.

Sanders was mayor of Burlington from 1981-89. Sanders carried Vermont in the March 1 Super Tuesday primary, handily defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on his home turf.

But despite its new ranking as America's top loafing metropolis, Burlington has been known to contribute a few things. After all, any city that was the birthplace of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream must have a little industrious spirit going for it, don't you think?
