Americans have a complicated relationship with work. U.S. workers put in more hours on average each year compared to workers in other developed nations, including Japan, the United Kingdom, and Germany, according to a recent study from OECD. While we're taught hard work can lead to later success, sometimes one's workplace can cause undue stress and other issues.

Finance Buzz released a study that identified "cities where Americans have the highest risk of burnout." Analysts looked at seven different metrics to rank the 50 most populated cities, including average hours worked per week, average commute time, percentage of households with people with two or more jobs, and much more.

A popular Washington destination ranked high on the list, and it's Seattle. The Emerald City was just shy of the Top 10, coming in the No. 13 spot.

The website found that Las Vegas is the least overworked city in the nation.

Here are the most overworked cities in America:

  1. Washington D.C.
  2. Denver, Colorado
  3. Austin, Texas
  4. Minneapolis, Minnesota
  5. Dallas, Texas
  6. Boston, Massachusetts
  7. Salt Lake City, Utah
  8. Kansas City, Missouri
  9. Indianapolis, Indiana
  10. Baltimore, Maryland
