So much for the 9-to-5 job. Among Americans who weren’t able to work at home, the largest share arrived at their workplace well before 9 a.m., according to a Social Explorer analysis of 2016-20 American Community Survey data. Slightly more than 20.5 million Americans – 14.3 percent, or roughly 1 in 7 — started their workday between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m.

The greatest share of workers arriving early were – naturally – in most of the nation’s Farm Belt. Todd County, S.D., led the way with 47.8 percent of its 2,553 workers starting on the job between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m. It was followed by Dewey County, S.D. (46.8 percent); Jackson County, S.D. (46 percent); Long County, Ga. (43.9 percent); and Thomas County, Neb. (42.6 percent).
