Montanans Work Less Over the Holidays Than Most States

Happy Holidays, my friends. I hope you are all able to have some family time and time away from work next week. I know the radio station will be a ghost town in here for most of next week, if not all of next week.

Some of you will have to work on Christmas Day. Service industry workers may have to man a restaurant or work the grocery store, and we appreciate the hell out of you.

A website called Homebase conducted a full study on "The States Working the Most Over the Holidays."

Montanans Work Less Than Most States Over the Holidays

Overall, Montana ranked 45th in states working the most over the holiday season. Montanans rank below average in total holiday season hours worked per employee, total holiday season overtime hours per employee, and % of employees working on Christmas Day.

The one category where Montana was an outlier was % of employees with multiple jobs. According to Homebase, 8.3% of Montanan employees work multiple jobs.

Here's the full report.

"None, work all the way through Christmas" - Barbara J.H.

"I work" - Rebecca M.

"25th and Jan 1st unless I use personal time?" - James V. H. 

"Days off??? I'm a truck driver, no such thing" - Shawn F.
