Are you a hard worker?

According to a new survey, 80% of us say we’re working as hard as we can at our jobs every day.

Shall we go over the checklist?

Here are the top 10 traits of “a hard worker” from the survey:

  • Helping coworkers when you don’t need to
  • Always meeting deadlines
  • Volunteering for work
  • Always getting everything done on your to-do list
  • Getting through more work than anyone else
  • Getting in early
  • Staying late
  • Keeping a to-do list
  • Never procrastinating
  • Volunteering for meetings 

How well did you do?

They also asked what the hardest jobs were…and (no surprise) healthcare workers and first responders dominated the list.

The top 10 hardest jobs includes nurses, doctors, paramedics, police officers, firefighters, surgeons and  farmers.
