How the Burnout Rankings Were Calculated

These rankings were created by Wealth of Geeks and they made these rankings by state after looking at a few key metrics. Those metrics include income, quit rates, commute duration, working hours, safety, and paid time off.

Almost every year I lose PTO hours that I have accrued at work. It’s nobody’s fault but my own. But my plan is to take time off earlier in the year so I don’t have so much to burn at the end. Use your PTO, you’ve earned it!
