Here, the average Arlington worker puts in around 41 hours every week, and the city\u2019s hard work was further emphasized by the employment rate in the 25 to 64 age group (exceeding 85%) \u2014 as well as its low idle population of just more than 11% \u2014 to lead the nation in all three metrics. Furthermore, the city\u2019s 2.8% unemployment rate (the third-lowest in the country) indicates a well-matched workforce and underscores Arlington\u2019s commitment to efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the city also takes pride in having one of the highest employment rates of more than 26% in the 65+ age group, thereby harnessing the skills and experience of its older workforce. The city also scored in the top 10 nationwide for its efficiency indicators, which were spearheaded by its 27% rate of working from home and more than 10 coworking spaces per 100,000 residents.

In this case, the city\u2019s dedication to hard work is clearly demonstrated in its average work week of just less than 41 hours, placing it second in the nation. This commitment was further reflected in Alexandria\u2019s low idle population of less than 12% in the active age group, as well as its third-highest employment rate among older adults at more than 30%. Notably, the latter was only outdone by Cambridge, Mass., and Carrollton, TX. Moreover, Alexandria\u2019s 3.2% unemployment rate is also the third highest on our list.<\/p>\n<p>While Alexandria didn\u2019t rank as high in the efficiency category as Arlington, mainly because of its 30-minute average commute time, it\u2019s worth noting that the city has more than 15 coworking spaces per 100,000 residents \u2014 a 50% higher density to slightly outperform even Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"sunnyvale\">3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunnyvale, CA<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/coworking-space\/us\/va\/arlington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2024\/01\/Sunnyvale1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2024\/01\/Sunnyvale1.png 2300w, https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2024\/01\/Sunnyvale1.png?resize=300,104 300w, https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2024\/01\/Sunnyvale1.png?resize=768,267 768w, https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2024\/01\/Sunnyvale1.png?resize=1024,356 1024w, https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2024\/01\/Sunnyvale1.png?resize=1536,534 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/l\/message\/19:04f84e9b6582420bb08ad5eebab03271@thread.v2\/1706684787131?context=%7B%22contextType%22%3A%22chat%22%7D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunnyvale, CA<\/a><\/strong> shined as a beacon of productivity to capture the third spot in our ranking with almost 76 total points. Silicon Valley\u2019s effect on the local economy is undeniable with the $195 per hour of value created per worker based on the GDP of the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., metro area. This pushed Sunnyvale and San Jose to third and 17<sup>th<\/sup> places in our ranking, respectively. However, the data also showed that the area\u2019s economic momentum was also matched by Sunnyvale\u2019s outstanding adoption of remote work as one in four residents works from home \u2014 a clear sign of a mindset that prioritizes efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of efficiency, Sunnyvale was one of the prime examples of working smart: Most of its contributions to the area\u2019s prosperity are being carried by a highly active, working-age population with an employment rate of more than 81% in the 25 to 64 age bracket. Granted, on the two extremes, it was more moderate, ranking in the middle of the field when it came to the younger and older workforces. That suggests a strong focus on higher education and an above-average financial stability among retirees. Otherwise, in terms of its idle population and unemployment trends, Sunnyvale is at the low end of the list with rates of 16.5% and 4.1%, respectively.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"carrollton\">4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Carrollton, TX<\/h3>\n<p>Ranking fourth overall, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/coworking-space\/us\/tx\/carrollton\/\"><strong>Carrollton, TX<\/strong><\/a> boasted the third-highest score nationwide in the work category. This was largely due to the Dallas suburb\u2019s active older adults, who secured second place in this subcategory with an impressive employment rate of more than 32% \u2014 just half a percentage point below Cambridge, MA. What\u2019s more, Carrollton demonstrated exceptional employment rates among its working-age group, standing tall at 83%.

But, more important, the metropolitan area\u2019s impressive $147 of value created by each worker every hour also placed it among the most productive. The city also boasted a robust employment landscape \u2014 particularly among its young workers \u2014 with a striking 54% employment rate among those aged 16 to 24.

Specifically, South Dakota\u2019s favorable tax climate and a solid local infrastructure have created an attractive business environment for industries from biomedical to retail, health care, finance and manufacturing. Accordingly, the city was one of the most consistent high scorers.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, it earned top spots in two subcategories \u2014 the lowest unemployment rate nationwide at 2.3%, as well as its enviable, less-than-17-minute commute time. Furthermore, garnering the fourth-highest work score nationwide, the city was also on the podium for its employment rate in all age groups with the exception of the older adults\u2019 category, but even then it was still in the top 10. In fact, the average work week of just above 39 hours was the only metric where Sioux Falls lagged slightly behind most top-performers.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"santa-clara\">7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Santa Clara, CA<\/h3>\n<p>The second Silicon Valley hub on our list, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/coworking-space\/us\/ca\/santa-clara-county\/santa-clara\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Santa Clara, CA<\/strong><\/a> shared the top spot on the productivity chart with its neighboring cities of Sunnyvale and San Jose.

Embracing modern work dynamics, the city also boasted one of the highest rates of remote work with nearly 22% of its workforce telecommuting.

Furthermore, Scottsdale\u2019s young workforce was another key to its economic vitality with nearly 62% actively contributing to the local economy for the third-highest employment rate on our list among those aged 16 to 24.

At the same time, Seattle also earned the third-highest productivity score (thanks to the metro\u2019s workers creating $122 of value per hour), as well as the second-highest rate of remote work among our top 20 cities at 27% to finish neck and neck with Arlington, VA.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"denver\">12.\u00a0 Denver, CO<\/h3>\n<p>In the Rocky Mountains, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/coworking-space\/us\/co\/denver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Denver, CO<\/strong><\/a> boasted one of the lowest rates of idle workforce at a hair above 15%, as well as a robust employment rate reaching more than 81% among its active age group.

Although these, too, were overshadowed by the 30-minute commute (the second-longest within the top 20), one in four workers in the nation\u2019s capital were telecommuters or hybrid workers, thus escaping the hassle of the long morning and afternoon rides.<\/p>\n<p>The city also has a well-developed coworking infrastructure with nearly 15 flex offices per 100,000 workers, which offers plenty of opportunity to cut corners.

Plus, the fact that the local workforce produced the record GDP with low involvement from the extremes of the age spectrum (at least compared to most high-scorers) \u2014 and in the shortest average workweek out of the top 20 at just more than 38 hours \u2014 speaks volumes of the city\u2019s productivity.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"stamford\">18.\u00a0 Stamford, CT<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coworkingcafe.com\/coworking-space\/us\/ct\/stamford\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Stamford, CT<\/strong><\/a> showcased workforce inclusivity with one of the highest employment rates seen among active older adults at nearly 26%.
