On average, residents of Fort Worth only spent one minute less than their fellow Texans in Houston on the job, working 43 hours and 33 minutes, compared to Houston's 43.34 hours. What separated these two Texas cities was that residents of Fort Worth spent an average of 15 minutes less per week commuting to and from their jobs than Houstonians. As of 2013, the estimate for Fort Worth's population was less than 800,000 people, which may explain the shorter commute times in Fort Worth.
Chicago was in a virtual tie with Fort Worth, according to the data. Residents of the Windy City spent on average slightly more than an hour less on the job compared to their counterparts in Fort Worth, but this was canceled out because the commute was nearly an hour longer in Chicago, according to the data.
