How much does it cost you to get to work?

[NeedleCast]

34. I spend the approximately the first hour of my day paying for my commute

...and I make a little over 34$/hour.

57 miles one way, plus a little over 10 dollars a day in tolls. My commute is literally the worst thing in my life. It turns an 8 hour work day into an 11 hour day (that's on a good traffic day). I've had recent interview for good jobs closer to home, but come in second place in two interviews...not good enough when they have one position open. Still fighting against lots of other applicants for each position I come across.
