For the almost 8 percent of us that drive to work, it takes a whole hour. And for the fewer than 1 percent the Census calls mega-commuters &#8212; poor mega-commuters:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One way to work is 90 minutes and 50 miles,&#8221; says New York trader Pete Sylvestri. &#8220;A long, long time.&#8221; Sylvestri is hustling to catch his train home &#8212; 55 miles away in Fairfield, Conn.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marketplace.org\/sites\/default\/files\/metro-times-chart.png\" width=\"394\" height=\"206\" \/>&#8220;It&#8217;s got a beach, it&#8217;s got great schools. A lot cheaper taxes than New York,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>And Sylvestri is pretty much the type of person that makes these mega-commutes.<\/p>\n<p>Alison Fields, with the Census Bureau, says they often work in fields like management and business.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They also tend to have a higher salary than the average commuter, they tend to be male and they tend to be in the prime working age,&#8221; says Fields. &#8220;It&#8217;s still not anywhere near as prevalent as people might think,&#8221; she adds.<\/p>\n<p>These mega-commuters are outliers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marketplace.org\/sites\/default\/files\/metro-distance-chart.png\" width=\"368\" height=\"204\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everybody&#8217;s different.
