Still stands, less then 40 miles round trip for the majority of the people that I work with.
You are not kidding, are you?

When performing a survey, you have to select RANDOM sample of people not just line up your employees and ask them the same question.

Just like you "surveyed" your employees, I can "survey" Aldi, Inc. employees (DM). You know what their weekly "commute" is? 500 - 1000 miles per week! And just like your "survey" the results of my endeavor can be tossed in the garbage, because it was obviously not a random sample.

Oh and one last thing, surveys with less than 100 people have almost 10% margin of error in them, so they are pretty worthless.
