Originally Published 2 years ago — by Business Insider
The flexibility of hybrid work has led to a rise in super commuting, where professionals are willing to travel long distances to the office on a regular basis. This trend has been accelerated by the pandemic, as more employees have the option to work remotely or have a hybrid schedule. Super commuters are reshaping the geography of American work, with big cities that accommodate their needs at the office and quieter locales that cater to their lifestyles at home emerging as winners. The tech industry, in particular, is friendly to super commuters, who value the opportunity to choose where they live and build relationships with coworkers. While some super commuters opt for idyllic settings, others prefer to remain in the bustling centers of major cities. Transportation access is a key factor in determining which cities are best suited for hosting high-powered hybrid workers.
