The number of people who commute 90 minutes or more to work are on the rise in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, according to a new study.

Analyzing Census Bureau data, Apartment List found that the number of so-called “supercommuters” in the Boston-Manchester area grew by 69 percent, from 2.5 percent of the workforce in 2005 to 3.7 percent in 2017, the most recent year for which data are available.

Similarly, the share of residents who work from home grew from 2.9 percent to 4.9 percent of the workforce over the same time period. In the Worcester area, the number of supercommuters grew by 46 percent to 3.2 percent of the workforce and residents who work from home grew by 170 percent, to 5.8 percent of the workforce. In Springfield, the number of supercommuters grew slightly while the number of people who work from home increased by 30 percent to 3.7 percent of the workforce

The study found both categories of workers are much wealthier than other workers. “Normal” commuters in the Boston-Manchester, New Hampshire area earned a median annual income of $65,000 in 2017, while supercommuters earned $75,600 and telecommuters earned $87,000.

In Worcester, the income difference between the three groups was much greater, with the three groups earning $56,000, $70,000 and $72,000, respectively, while in Springfield they earned $50,000, $66,000 and $60,000.

“Many super commuters are now willing to trade off time in traffic for the ability to have both the home life and job they want, even if the two are in wildly different places. Remote workers, on the other hand, can accomplish the same thing by shifting their work online. For a growing segment of the labor force, the tried and true half hour commute is either unattractive or out of reach,” the study noted.
