- ddulaney 4y agoI'm not sure where the 40 miles number comes from, but the Census Bureau put the one-way commute time at 28 minutes on average as of 2019, with 10% above 1 hour: https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/one-way-travel-time-to-work-rises.html https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/one-way-...
- wil421 4y agoIt’s pretty harsh but my commute is 2 stair cases. As a virtual worker I come in to the office 2-5 times a month max. The company I work for’s office is 13 miles away, 35 mins max. The in town office is 19 miles. You could grab a train about 12 miles away and add another 30 minutes to your commute but most people would drive 7 more miles and get there quicker. Living in town is expensive, schools are terrible, and the homes/properties are small.
- RHSeeger 4y agoIt varies pretty extensively. I've had commutes in the ranges of - 0 minutes (working from home) - 30-60 minutes each way - 1.5-2.5 hours each way (I only went into the office 2-3 days per week at this one)
