One man says his commute is not worth his pay of $19 an hour.
- As inflation fuels the cost of transportation, a simple commute to work every day can take a big bite out of your wallet, and with more Americans heading into the office, they are feeling the pinch every time they fill their gas tanks.
While this couple’s commute is longer than most, as more workers get called back to the office, millions are feeling the squeeze with the national average gas price more than $4.60 a gallon.“It’s already bad. It could get worse, and it’s definitely not going to get much better,” Patrick DeHaan with GasBuddy said.
An international survey conducted last November found 64% of workers would consider looking for a new job if they were forced to return full time. “Workers are looking at it from a standpoint of, ‘Can I afford to take that new opportunity or can I afford to stay if required to go back to the office?’” Paul McDonald with Robert Half said.“It’s very frustrating, but there’s nothing I can do about it,” Scott Angstadt said.“To throw that away, that’s throwing away a lot,” he said.“That picture has kind of altered. We might not be retiring in eight years,” Liz Angstadt said.
