How Long is Your Commute?

We recently surveyed more than 4,400 business professional members across our network of 15,000 niche career sites. We asked them “How long is/was your commute to work for your most recent job?” The purpose of this survey was to gather and share valuable information about the habits and interests of those who are using CollegeRecruiter.com and the rest of the sites in our network to search for internships, entry level job opportunities and other career information. The results were:

  • 73 percent said they work less than 25 miles from home;
  • 45 percent said that they commute less than 15 miles;
  • 27 percent commute 15 to 25 miles;
  • 17 percent commute 25 to 40 miles; and
  • 10 percent commute more than 40 miles to work.

It appears that more and more candidates are choosing to work close to home in order to help maintain a healthier work-life balance.
