My state of Oregon is apparently lazy and, I saw on another map this morning, also one of the loneliest.

The map actually shows urban centers which probably provide more opportunities for employees, and thus less of a need to "work hard": I am pretty sure it inversely correlates with employer "power".

So from that perspective, it's a positive.

And least hard-working states probably have highest GDP, so they actually work the "smartest", too.

(It's not that simple for sure: their position gives them quite some leverage too)
