Here's why Nairobi City has been ranked top 10 in the world as being one of the most hardworking city

 Nairobi has been featured in a list of the top 10 hardest working cities worldwide for 2015. 

Nairobi placed seventh in the rankings. The primary factor determining what the hardest working cities in the world are is the number of hours worked every year (and how many hours per week that translates to). The number of paid days of leave is also included in the list.

The report by CNN Money indicates that Nairobi residents work an average of 2,184 hours every year and receive an average of 22 paid days of leave.

So who works harder than that? Among the cities that work harder are Mumbai, Mexico City and New Delhi. Although Nairobi did place seventh it does have the distinction of being the hardest working city in Africa, with no other metropolises from the continent even cracking the top 10.

The hardest working city crown belongs to Hong Kong, where people work an average of 2,606 hours per year (or more than 50 hours per week). They also only get 17 days of paid leave every year.

The report failed to take into account the hours of spent every year by Nairobi commuters in traffic to and from work. Nairobi is rapidly becoming one of the major economic hubs in Africa, with the reputation of being the “Silicon Savannah” being cemented globally.
