Report: Lynbrook is Sixth Hardest Working Place in New York

Lynbrook is one of the hardest working places on Long Island and   New York State.

The south shore dominated a list of hardest working places in New York State with five communities making the top 10 on a Movato list.

Rockville Centre ranked first among Long Island communities and fourth overall. Floral Park tied Lynbrook for sixth overall. Massapequa Park was ninth and City of Long Beach was 10th.

The report said of Lynbrook:

Lynbrook is a little more laid back when it come to hours worked in our top 10, but that’s not saying much. Those employed out of the 19,427 residents of the village (93.6 percent of them) work an average of 38.7 hours a week, which is a more relaxed 16th place for that ranking. The commute, however, is still a big of a nightmare. Workers spend 36.6 minutes on average traveling to and from their places of employment, so that takes a bit off that little bit of extra relaxation time.

Just missing the top 10 were Garden City (11th), Valley Stream (15th), Freeport (23rd), and Hempstead (34th).

The list, released last week by Movato.com, compiled data from household income and cost of living, average time spent commuting, unemployment rates, and average hours worked per week.

Scarsdale, Rye, and Dobbs Ferry took first, second, and third place respectively. Also making the top 10 were Mamaroneck (fifth) and Peekskill (eighth). Read the full list here.
