Anyone who takes the RTA in the morning or drives down Euclid during rush hour can tell you: Cleveland works hard.

Our efforts were recognized by Locality.com, who ranked us the 48th hardest-working city in the U.S. The website calculated these ranks by averaging local business workers’ hours per week, especially emphasizing service establishments.

Of course, nobody could beat New York City, at 65 hours a week (it might be time for a coffee break, NYC).

But Cleveland put in its own impressive work log, with an average of 55.94 hours.

  1. Sure, but how many of those hours are spent on Facebook and reading articles like this?

    ..I should get back to work…

  2. I am for working less and that means less hours, getting paid for 40 but working only 30.

  3. Commuters traveling around Cleveland are working even harder to avoid the ever-expanding pits in the roads that Mayor Frank Jackson thought were so funny during the softball questioning, utterly boring “interview” that masqueraded as a serious event to review the “State of the City”.
