The cost of commuting

Commuting is one of those necessary evils that's baked into modern cities , like noise pollution and too many pigeons . But new research has found the it invites is costing workers significantly .

The commute to and from work around 50 minutes of the average American day and ? as anyone who's ever taken a 9 am ride on the New York City subway knows ? fresh horrors await you daily as ill - equipped infrastructure tries to get too many people from point A to point B . The frustration that comes from long delays and cramped journeys is nothing new , but a recent study out of the University of the West of England has put a dollar sign on the commuter experience , and it might make you think twice about your next metro pass .

Researchers analyzed data from a government - run called the UK Household Longitudinal Study , a survey that quizzes adult members of 40 , 000 households throughout the UK . Using questionnaire data collected between 2009 and 2016 , researchers not only concluded that commuting . we already knew that ? but also , that an extra 20 - minute period tacked onto a day's commute can result in a worker's job satisfaction dropping to the equivalent of taking a 19 percent pay cut . In other words , a long and terrible commute can significantly affect your satisfaction with your job .

This information is significant because commutes are not getting any shorter . Quite the opposite , in fact . According to Census data , American commutes have been getting longer since at least 2010 . Data from 2015 showed that 45 - minute commutes grew by 3 . 5 percent in 2014 , while hour - long commutes grew by 5 . 1 percent .

There are solutions ! Before you totally that your commute is going to make you feel like you're making less money every year , know that technology is finding ways to capitalize on what is definitely a broken system . App - based ride - sharing services , like Ford's Chariot passenger vans , are trying to make a dent in New York City's overburdened transit system , and will likely expand to more cities . A veritable cottage industry has sprung up around trying to solve the 'first / last mile' problem of commuting , or how to get people from their home to the commuter rail or subway .

Elon Musk's pet venture , the Boring Company , elaborate tunnel systems underneath cities as the answer to above - ground gridlock . It might seem like a pardon the pun ? but the Boring Company has already started tunneling an airport route below Los Angeles , and another project has been green lit in Maryland .

A Gallup report from earlier this year also found an increase in the number of Americans that are working from home , or working remotely at least some of the time . In 2016 , around 43 percent of American employees spent some of their time working remotely , compared to 39 percent in 2012 .

As technology improves with chat apps like Slack to keep employees communicating from afar , working from home has become increasingly feasible , and apparently even more productive . That same Gallup report found that the 'most engaged' workers were the ones who spent 60 to 80 percent of their week working from home .

This new information about how commutes are cutting into job satisfaction only reinforces a growing body of data that says we need to do something about our terrible commutes . As the saying goes : " money talks " , and nobody likes a pay cut .
