America has been known as the land of opportunity for as long as I can remember. It’s the one place in the world where if you bare down and keep your nose to the grindstone, you can make a better life for your family and yourself.

And while everyone in New York works hard, there’s a certain part of the Empire State that takes the Puritan work ethic to the extreme — the hardest working places in New York .

Who’s the leader of this work around the clock ethos? That would be Pelham Manor which takes top honors for the hardest working place in New York. People work so hard there they manage to make getting to work a job.

So what other places burn the midnight oil to bring home a large piece of bacon? You’re going to have to get to the office early and stay late on Fridays to beat out these places in New York for a promotion:

  1. Pelham Manor
  2. Pelham
  3. Kings Point
  4. Lawrence
  5. Scarsdale
  6. Briarcliff Manor
  7. Larchmont
  8. East Hills
  9. Irvington
  10. Garden City

So listen up Salamanca as we explain how we created this ranking, you could learn some things from the rest of the state.

How We Determined The Hardest Working Places In The Empire State

Like all problems here at Zippia, we start with the data to answer the hard questions. Some might even consider us the hardest working data-crunchers this side of the Mississippi.

In this particular case, we went to the latest version of the American Community Survey looking for answers. As luck would have it, the Census Bureau just released the 2009-2014 5-Yr Estimate which would make this analysis the first of its kind with the new data.

After scrolling through what seemed like hundreds of criteria, we settled on this set for each State:

  • Average hours worked
  • Average commute time
  • Workers per household (Employed labor force divided by the number households)
  • Labor force participation rate
  • Adults with a college degree

Our thinking went something along the lines of if you are spent the many years getting a degree, are actively seeking employment, work a ton of hours when employed, and spend forever getting to work, you get the Zippia hardworking stamp of approval.

After we got the data for all 170 places in New York, we ranked each place from 1 to 170 for each of the criteria with 1 being the “hardest working”.

Next, we averaged the rankings for each to create a hardworking index.

Finally, we crowned the place with the lowest hard working index the “Hardest Working Place In New York”. And, at the end of the day, Pelham Manor had its hard work pay off.

Read the detailed chart below to learn a bit more about why each place ranked where it did.
