From the May Alaska Economic Trends: "According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, Alaskans spend 5.6 million minutes a year commuting to work. In daily terms, that means those who don’t work at home spend an average of 17.9 minutes in transit to their jobs. That’s not bad when we compare ourselves to our national counterparts, who spend 25.2 minutes getting to work."
The best states were North Dakota (16 minutes), South Dakota (16.4) and Montana (17.3). The worst states were New York (31.4), Maryland (31.1) and New Jersey (29.6). Most Alaskans (39.3%) leave for work between 7:00am and 8:30am.
