Healthcare workers cope with long commutes

As tough as it can be to depend on the subway, healthcare workers say their commute is the worst. So why is getting to work such an extra-long haul for people in the medical industry? About 500,000 healthcare workers in the five boroughs spend more time commuting than those in any other industry, with an average commute of more than 51 minutes, according to a new study conducted by the independent think tank the Center for an Urban Future.
