3/6/2013




According to a report on commuting by the U.S. Census Bureau, the average person drives 25 and a half minutes each way, to work.  And one in four people go to a different county to work.   Some people have a MUCH longer commute.  One in 12 people have a one-hour commute each way. 

And one in 122 people qualify as "megacommuters."  
 That means that they drive at least 50 miles and 90 minutes each way.  And there are 587,000 people who do it.   Three out of four megacommuters are men.  And they're more likely to be older, married with a spouse who doesn't work, make a high salary, live in a large city and leave for work before 6 A.M.
