As defined by the United States Census Bureau, an extreme commute is a daily journey to work that takes more than 90 minutes each way. According to the bureau, about 3% of American adult workers are so-called "extreme" commuters.[1] Not surprisingly, the number of extreme commuters in the New York, Baltimore, and Los Angeles metropolitan areas is much greater than the national average.
Midas sponsored an "America's Longest Commute" award in 2006. The winner drove 372 miles (about 4 1/2 hours) roundtrip to and from work each day.[2]
