WalletHub ranked Bridgeport at 111th in a study of 116 cities, according to data released on Monday. It only ranked higher than Toledo in Ohio, Newark in New Jersey, Buffalo in New York, Detroit and Burlington in Vermont.
Bridgeport is the only Connecticut city included on the list.
The study looked at “direct” and “indirect” factors like the average work hours, the employment rate, how many households have adults who don’t work, the number of idle youth, average commute times and volunteer hours.
