Survey links commuting to quality of life

[projekktor id=’10226′]

A new survey says many Canadians think the time it takes to get to work is as important as the job itself.

76 per cent of those responding to the Environics survey conducted for Oxford Properties said they want a reasonable commute to the office, with 50 per cent saying commute time is the number one factor for choosing one job over another.

Most people feel that their drive to work should take less than 30 minutes — which happens to be the average in Canada. In the GTA though, the average one-way trip is 42 minutes.
