The latest study from Final Round AI reveals that Texas, despite its reputation as a business-friendly state, has a workforce that ranks as one of the most miserable in the country. The analysis, which draws on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, evaluates factors such as average hours worked, wages, and workplace injury rates. Texas workers are reported to be the 12th most miserable, primarily due to long hours and average pay that doesn't fully compensate for the stress of their jobs.

Mississippi tops the list for the most miserable workers, with the lowest average wages and a high rate of workplace fatalities. In contrast, New York boasts the happiest workforce, attributed to better pay, fewer hours, and lower fatality rates. Texas workers average 36.5 hours a week and earn about $61,240 annually, but the state also sees a concerning number of workplace fatalities, which contributes to its low ranking.

The CEO of Final Round AI, Michael Guan, emphasizes that worker happiness is crucial for productivity and overall business success. He suggests that improving wages, work-life balance, and health priorities can significantly enhance worker satisfaction, leading to better performance and fewer mistakes in the workplace.
