In the top 10 list, two cities in the top five are a ~1 hour drive apart. That makes them one commute zone for a lot of workers. How do I know? I commute from San Francisco to Sunnyvale most days, and I see a lot of people doing the same thing.
The list, which is fundamentally broken...
New York
Washington, D.C.
San Jose
Seattle
San Francisco
Los Angeles
Boston
Chicago
Detroit
Dallas
- AndrewKemendo 9y agoThat makes them one commute zone for a lot of workers As with most workers in the cities you mentioned. People in NYC come from NJ. DC, people commute from MD and VA (where I live). So it is comparable.
- kbenson 9y agoNo, the point is that two entries in the top five are are in the same commute zone. There's a reason it's called Silicon Valley or the Bay Area often when referring to the job market and not just San Francisco or San Jose. It's an economic region with a strong technical economy. If you combined them, where do they sit on the list, as that's more useful for deciding how the economy of the area is. Also, is that including jobs from Palo Alto, Sunnyvale and Mountain View? I assume it must be, since that's where many of the companies actually are, but there are jobs all over the area, and I believe in a higher concentration than in many other metropolitan areas.
- AndrewKemendo 9y agoI see your point here. That if combined, SF and SJ - aka "Silicon Valley," would be #1 and that because of their proximity, they should be combined. Doesn't really matter anyway - this whole thing is just content marketing.
- chaboud 9y agoThat is, effectively, what I was saying. The list is dumb. The best thing we can do is move on.
