October 4, 2006
Fifty-nine percent of workers surveyed by CareerBuilder.com admit to experiencing road rage while traveling to and from work. One-in-ten report they usually or always experience road rage during their commute. The survey, completed in June 2006, included more than 2,200 workers nationwide. Nearly 85 percent of workers say their primary means of traveling to and from work is driving, so it's no surprise that incidents of road rage climbed with the length of the commute. However, 30 percent of workers with commutes of less than five minutes still say they experience road rage on occasion. The same goes for 42 percent of workers with commutes of less than 10 minutes. Women were slightly more likely to feel road rage than men. Sixty percent of women reported road rage, compared with 57 percent of men. "A frustrating commute can set a negative tone for the day, sometimes impacting productivity and employee or client relations," said Rosemary Haefner, Vice President of Human Resources at CareerBuilder.com. "One-in-five workers say they would take a job with a pay cut in exchange for a shorter distance between their home and their workplace. While a new job may be the answer for some, the key to a manageable commute is planning ahead and finding a way to relax," she added. Haefner offers the following tips for a calm and enjoyable commute:
