Often, the commute duration plays part in the decision-making regarding new jobs. Thus, a few weeks ago we posted a poll on LinkedIn to see how long our followers are willing to commute to work. We got 70 votes and the results were quite clear.
Most people, 45% of voters, are believed to be accepting of commuting between 30 minutes and one hour. It is not a surprising result since living in a big city usually takes around 30 minutes to one hour to move from one place to another by car or by public transport.
29% of our followers are willing to commute only under 30 minutes. It is reasonable as the least amount of commuting means more time to sleep or spend time productively. It is evident that so many people want to minimise their commuting time in their daily lives. Therefore, it is not surprising that 22% of voters consider working completely remotely as the best option. They do not have to spend money or energy commuting to work every day. The rest, only 4%, thinks it is okay to commute more than one hour every day to work.
All things considered, it is reasonable that commuting to work under one hour is the best option while others still hope that remote work will be more acceptable in the future.
