According to research done by the folks at HavenLife.com, Atascocita ranks 6th in the country for cities that have the most-dedicated and hardest workers.
To better understand how hard Americans work across the country, researchers at Haven Life analyzed the most recently updated U.S. Census data for 2017. Rather than only looking at "work hours" per week for each city, analysts also factored in commute times to get a better estimate of the total work-related time residents are putting in. Taking commute times into account, Haven Life identified 12 cities whose combined total working and commuting hours exceed 46 hours per week.
This is what they had to say about Atascocita...
.."Atascocita has been named one of the "Best Places to Retire" by U.S. News & World Report, citing the large number of recreational services. 'Trade, transportation, and utilities' and 'professional and business services' are the two leading industries in the Houston metropolitan area. However, Atascocita's affluence-with a median household income of approximately $100,000-suggests that many low-wage earners would need to work longer hours to afford to live in the community. Coupled with more than half of the city's workers leaving for work before 7 AM and the long commute time, many of Atascocita's residents travel to Houston for work."
