Las Cruces named 7th 'Hardest-Working Town in America'

City of Las Cruces

KFOX - Las Cruces is named the seventh-hardest-working city in America, according to a list by Total cereal and "Parade" magazine.  The way Total and "Parade" generated the list was that "Parade's" editorial team reports it analyzed the total number of hours worked, unemployment rates, commute times, double-income families and the likelihood of people to give up personal time for work. "This, I am sure, does not come as a surprise, given that Las Cruces was formerly named one of the Best Small Metro Area for Business and Careers by Forbes/Milken Institute and one of Best-Performing Cities in the nation by Milken Institute," said Total's Carol Kerbaugh via a release. "In a city full of hard-working professors and students at New Mexico State University who excel in areas like engineering, agriculture and education, and employees of the nearby White Sands Missile Range, Las Cruces was a sure bet for the list," she continued.
