Daniel Li, CEO and co-founder of Plus Docs says, “The study highlights significant variations in work/life balance across different U.S. states.

“Massachusetts takes the lead with a notably high index score, showing a fine balance between working hours and earnings.”

“In contrast, at the lower end of the spectrum, Mississippi indicates a distinct pattern with lower weekly wages and a relatively higher number of weekly hours worked.

“These findings underscore states’ diverse approaches in managing the delicate balance between professional commitments and personal time.”
