North Dakota has been ranked as the hardest-working state in the US, according to a study by WalletHub. The study analyzed 10 metrics across two main categories, including direct work factors and indirect work factors. Factors such as average number of work hours, employment rate, and workers who decline vacation time were considered. On the other hand, New Mexico ranked as the least hardworking state.
Former employees of Yellow, a trucking company that recently filed for bankruptcy, have reported not receiving their final paychecks and having their vacation time payments in limbo. Yellow, which laid off most of its staff of 30,000 employees, blamed the Teamsters union for the company's closure and accused them of refusing to negotiate. The Teamsters, on the other hand, stated that Yellow abandoned its workforce and pledged to support its members through the bankruptcy proceedings. Yellow has filed for $92.9 million to pay outstanding vacation time, but it remains unclear how much will go to recently laid-off employees.
