It really is Sleepless in Seattle according to one of the criterium that Movoto’s used when ranking its 50 hardest working cities in America.

Seattle came out on top because, well, screw sleeping, Bill Gates needs our souls (it’s what powers Windows 8). Here’s what Movoto had to say about the Seattle work ethic:

Unemployment in Seattle is incredibly low, helping make the city one of the most productive in the country.

Here are all of the factors that went into giving the Emerald City this dubious distinction:

  • Average hours worked per week
  • Unemployment rate
  • Commute time
  • Employed workers per household
  • Hours volunteered per year
  • Lack of sleep
  • Cost of living

Yay? Here’s the Top 10 hardest working sad sacks cities:

  1. Seattle, WA
  2. Arlington, TX
  3. Fort Worth, TX
  4. Austin, TX
  5. San Jose, CA
  6. San Francisco, CA
  7. Dallas, TX
  8. Virginia Beach, VA
  9. Washington, D.C.
  10. Houston, TX

We’re moving to Portland so we can finally get some sleep.
