Most workers are willing to commute up to 30 minutes each way for their dream job, while 11 percent would travel for more than an hour each way, according to a new survey by Maynard-based Monster.com.
Of the more than 4,500 people who responded to a question that asked how long they would be willing to travel each way, 44 percent said they would be willing to commute up to 30 minutes.
Another 14 percent said they would commute up to 15 minutes each way, while 31 percent said 60 minutes was their limit. An additional 4 percent said they’d travel up to 90 minutes while 7 percent said more than 90 minutes.
“It’s no surprise that workers would prefer to spend less time traveling to and from work — even for their dream job,” said Mary Ellen Slayter, career advice expert at Monster.com. “That time behind the wheel is time away from their friends and families, as well as productive time at work, which is why the size of the group willing to use that much time getting to and from work is somewhat surprising.”
