Ridiculous Website Claims these are the Laziest Towns in New Jersey
How exactly do you determine how lazy a town is?
A site called Zippia thinks they've cracked the code and released their top 10 laziest towns in New Jersey.

Zippia says:
We used science and data to determine the places in New Jersey that are total couch potatoes.
I love these "studies" that are written by people who have probably never been to New Jersey, let alone in the towns they're speaking of. But I digress.
Zippia used this criterion for their findings:
- Lowest average hours worked
- Shortest commute time
- Fewest workers per household (Labor force divided by the number of households)
- Highest unemployment rate
- Fewest adults with a college degree
Bull. None of the above makes a town or an individual lazy. Toss all of the numbers you want at me.
Let's break it down.
- Lowest average hours worked - many people can't get the number of hours they want or need.
- Shortest commute time - irrelevant.
- Fewest workers per household - Because a 10, 6, and 2 year old are holding down a 9 to 5.
- Highest unemployment rate - Sure, some choose not to work and use the system. Others are struggling and have been struggling to get a gig for quite some time.
- Fewest adults with a college degree - I don't have a degree and I've had a job since I was 12. I've been unemployed for 3 months, that's it. A lot of that is luck, another big part is WORK ETHIC!
Here's the "top" 10:
- Wildwood
- Salem
- Camden
- Atlantic City
- Penns Grove
- Paulsboro
- Trenton
- Millville
- Asbury Park
- Bellmawr
All of these towns are full of hard-working people who are doing their best.
Zippia, you can suck it.
Some people have had it with Jersey, and here's where they are moving to.
