The statistics institute shows that Cyprus has the shortest travel time (19 minutes) ahead of Greece (20 minutes) and the duo of Italy and Portugal (21 minutes).

Note that these data concern employees by country of work and that they go back to 2019, i.e. before the covid-19 pandemic and the more frequent use of teleworking.

In this regard, the rate of home-working last year ranged from 0.3% in Bulgaria to 6.3% in Slovenia.
