PROVIDENCE – Maybe it’s the lack of volunteer hours, but Providence ranked fourth lowest on a list of the “hardest-working cities in America.”

Released by WalletHub this week, Providence ranked 113th out of the 116 largest cities in the United States. According to the financial services website, Providence contributed the fewest annual volunteer hours per resident at 17.8, while Salt Lake City contributes the most at 65.9.

Anchorage grabbed the top spot on the list of hard-working cities, while Burlington, Vt., was in last place.

Portland, Maine, ranked highest in New England at 33rd. Manchester, N.H., followed at 43rd and Boston was 72nd. Bridgeport, Conn., ranked 98th.

WalletHub used data from the U.S. Census Bureau, federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Corporation for National and Community Service to create the list. It looked at annual volunteer hours per resident, average commute time, labor-force participation rate, average hours worked per week and share of workers with multiple jobs as well as average leisure time spent per day.
