    Very unrealistic example to use… It would be very unusual for anyone to take a job that’s 3 hours away and make a six hour commute daily, while working an 8 to 10 hour work day… that example is not the norm and would never be the norm for majority. But let’s say for arguments sake you example works… yes the employer should pay you for that extreme commute… absolutely… but maybe I am more new school which was bound to happen as time wore on in society

      there are people who took jobs during the pandemic that were not in the neighborhood. this is not as an unreasonable example as it would have been five years ago.

        That’s not what I said… and that’s not what you claimed… and also… no one works in their neighborhood, unless they work from home… most work in theirs, or the neighborhing CITY. Most of us workers (at least 95% of us workers) do not and would not work at a job site for minimal pay, with a 3 hour commute both ways and not be well compensated for that commute or be some type of truck driver who is compensated for that.
