πποΈπ’ Since the pandemic, and WFH/remote, the landscape of work and commuting has drastically changed.
Let’s look at the current commuting metrics. How will they compare to your situation? How important is it to consider commuting when searching for your dream job? π
According to a recent article from Forward Role, we’ve witnessed the “Death of the Commute” as we knew it. In 2023, the question isn’t just about how far is too far, but also how remote or flexible can your job be? With the rise of remote work, hybrid models, and flexible hours, the work-life balance equation is tilting in favor of the employee! πΌπ‘
Still not convinced? Let’s crunch some numbers from Ridester. On average, Americans used to spend a whopping 54 minutes per day commuting to work! That’s almost 5 hours a week lost to traffic jams and crowded trains. Imagine what you could do with that extra time – hobbies, family, self-care? πβ¨ Not surprisingly, the states with the longest commutes are California, New York and Pennsylvania. Shortest? North & South Dakota and Wyoming.
Avoiding those long commutes could lead to substantial savings, as reported by Almanac News. Less gas, fewer transit tickets, and less wear and tear on your vehicle mean more money in your pocket! The studies show that the US states with the longest commutes cost up to $1500 per driver annually due to congestion alone!πβ½π°
But here’s the best part – job opportunities have diversified, transcending geographical boundaries. Now, you can explore positions you’d never dream of because distance could no longer be an obstacle. ππΌ
So, what’s the takeaway here? When searching for that perfect job, you may want to factor in the commute. Consider the new landscape of remote work, flexible hours, and the potential time and cost savings. Your dream job might just be a virtual office away! π‘πΌπ»
