80 hours? That's like 16 hours a day. I would rather go live under a bridge than to have a mindless routine like that with no time for myself.

Damn, Ann Arbor is in the top cities? I work there. Actually ain't far from Detroit, about a half hour, forty minutes.

Why in the hell would you work 80+ hours a week? I think I'd rather kill myself.

It's part of the gig, and it's far from mindless. That said, sucks to be in Charleston. :p Although, I'm in Clewiston, FL for the remainder of the month .. can't say it's better. Can't wait to get out. Now that I think about it .. I'm moving to a smaller (albeit much more pleasant) town afterward. :colbert:

The most miserable city is the one in your region.

That would be Fresno/Stockton, CA in my region.

"Overtime Exempt" should not apply to white collar professional work. It should only apply to executive work IMO.

I chuckle a bit at the comment section.

So, places like economically decimated and crime ridden Gary, Indiana, as well as Stockton, California, which is the largest city in the US to declare bankruptcy, are less "miserable" than the cities mentioned on this list? What a load of **** this "study" is.

To clear it up... I live in Charleston WV. Not the more pleasant and chocked-full of attractive girls city of Charleston SC.
No one is miserable there.. except for maybe dudes who lost their dicks.
