To find which cities are all work and no play, we measured how many residents punch the clock (U.S. Census) and the amount of overtime logged (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). We then considered commute times (U.S. Census) and rates of high blood pressure and self-reported stress (CDC). Finally, we calculated how many vacation days go unused, as well as peoples' stress levels when they finally do escape (Expedia.com). In the end, Manchester worked its way to the top of our list.

Maybe it reflects a population percentage that is unemployed?
Maybe, but I didnt see that mentioned in their formula. Milwaukee is a blue collar city through and through. They report to work when there are tornado warnings or 12" of blizzard-like snow conditions. IMO, some of the southern cities are the laziest in the country.

Blue collar workers may do the above, but when the 8 hrs are over (absent any overtime), they go home. That is not the case with some of the more "professional" jobs, please note use of quotes.

Id disagree 100%.
Id discuss, but this thread isnt over which type of worker has better work ethics...
I would agree 100% that im going to get a cocktail and start my weekend. LOL, Omaha must be a lazy city if we get off work at 1:30 huh.
