If you're itching to work hard toward that elusive American dream, there are some US cities that are waiting for you with open arms and rolled-up sleeves. WalletHub wanted to see which ones boast the best work ethic, so the site looked at nearly 120 of the nation's largest, examining a dozen or so metrics on everything from how many hours are put in on the job each week, to each city's employment rate and share of workers with more than one job. Turns out the nation's capital claims the "hardest-working city" honors, while Burlington, Vermont, could stand to pick up the pace. Here, the top and bottom 10 cities in WalletHub's rankings:
