It takes the average worker 25.5 minutes to get to work, according to the 2011 American Community Survey, but some workers have a much longer commute. Among the nation's 132 million workers who do not work at home, 11 million have at least a 60 minute commute—termed a "long commute" by the Census Bureau. Here is the distribution of workers by the length of their commute...
Less than 10 minutes: 13.4%
10 to 14 minutes: 14.3%
15 to 19 minutes: 15.5%
20 to 24 minutes: 14.8%
25 to 29 minutes: 6.1%
30 to 34 minutes: 13.7%
35 to 44 minutes: 6.4%
45 to 59 minutes: 7.5%
60 minutes or more: 8.1%
