What City has the most workaholics? The place where the rush hour is longest because more people come to work early and stay late. The City where the culture says you have to work like a dog for long hours or they will find someone else to do the job.
DC has to be up there. Lots of folks pull long hours and it seems to me to have a lower percentage of middle class "regular" folks who work a normal 8-9 hour day.
I am in DC and work LOOOOOONG hours but I make good pay. The area I am in is real quiet because everyone is always working. During the weekends everyone does their shopping and stores get packed.
Ive never seen anyone work as hard as DC. I imagine NYC is similar.
I would say it is DC. Rat race central. Somebody might say it is NYC, and NYC (as well as other cities) have that segment, but DC has more of it as a whole. NYC has a great percentage of a joie de vivre.
Lots of highly paid guys, incl billionaires, work 100hrs/wk
But can work/think anytime/anywhere offline or online, not just in an office in some suburban office in Cupertino or MtnView or a skyscraper in MidtownManhattan
And in any major region like SV or Manhattan the highest earners often arrive at office earliest and leave latest unlike the rank and file
Interestingly, traffic in any major region like SV or BH or Manhattan is a joke <6AM and >7PM when many of highest earners do the short drive from their nearby home to office
And most expensive commuter cars are often seen blitzing at these off hrs, not during alleged rush hr when the least productive workers seem to clog fwys and mass transit to their low-income, dead-end jobs....self-selection of life, no?
