San Francisco - tech capital of America - ranked first on this year's Hardest-Working Cities in America list, according to a new report by personal-finance website WalletHub.
Actually, San Francisco was the only California city to make the top 20.

Los Angeles ranked #77 followed by Long Beach at #78.
To get the results, WalletHub compared over 100 of the largest cities across 11 key metrics including employment rate and average hours worked per week to share of workers with multiple jobs. WalletHub noted that direct work factors include the share of homes with no working adults and the share of workers who leave unused vacation time. Indirect factors included average commute times, the share of workers with multiple jobs and annual volunteer hours.
