America's worst commute is a 90-minute slog from one California city: Palmdale to Los Angeles, 90 minutes plus

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

Southern California is home to some of the nation’s worst commute times, according to recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The government agency found that nearly half of the 10 longest commutes for workers originate in the region, with drivers spending hours every week simply shuttling back and forth between their home and their job.

America’s worst city for commuters by a long shot is Palmdale in northern Los Angeles County’s Antelope Valley. A round-trip commute there averages more than 90 minutes per day, owing to the booming residential region’s isolation from the greater Los Angeles basin — where most of the high-paying jobs are. The next worst commute time came from New York City, but it was still nearly 10 minutes less than Palmdale.
