I value my time at about $80 per hour. This calculation helps me figure out how much more a job would need to pay to justify a longer commute. For instance, if the commute is 60 minutes each way, the job would need to offer at least an extra $80 per day.
I wouldn't commute more than an hour. And if I can't take public transit, I'd drop that number down to 20 to 30 minutes because I can't work, read, or do something else productive if I have to drive myself.
After one particularly bad traffic jam that lasted hours, I decided enough was enough. I promised myself I wouldn't spend 10% of my life stuck on the road.
Current commuting times significantly impact work-life balance. People are looking for flexible work arrangements that minimize commute times to enhance overall job satisfaction.
