Coming to a Couch Near You: A New Wave of Telecommuting

Coming to a Couch Near You: A New Wave of Telecommuting:


Very cool discussion about Telecommuting. And Traffic. 


I just saw stats on the worst commutes in America. (several different ways to slice n dice it). One stat was the average person spends a bout a week per year (38 hours) in traffic. I have no idea where Mr Average lives, cause the rest of us used to ring up that many commuting hours in 2 to 4 weeks. An hour to work each way will clock you in at 40 hours within a given month. 


But don’t move to DC or LA or SF or hour time in traffic meter will max out!


Before the recession there were 4 or 5 Metros in Florida that were in the top 10 for worst commutes in the USofA. Now all I find (2011) is Miami with #22 and Tampa with 39.
