  This paper presents the group of domestic commuters who can only go home and meet their
  families – in the best case – once a week. It is based on a survey conducted in 2019 in which
  24 commuters together with their family members at home were interviewed about why they
  had decided on working far away from home. Looking for similar and different characteristic
  features, we have analyzed the interviews in terms of the respondents’ educational qualifications.
  Our results prove undoubtedly that the lower qualifications the respondents have, the fewer
  job options they will have; moreover, they are also in vulnerable position concerning getting
  accommodation, spending free time or finding suitable means of transport to go home.

  One indicator of the labour market situation of recent graduates is the length and quality of the post-graduation period. Today, the path from higher education to the labour market is increasingly complex and flexible, with many people already working during their university or college years, while others find it takes months to find a job after graduation. The transition therefore starts during the period of study, before graduation, in the form of internships, work placements during training, or even voluntary work. Nowadays, the delay in finding a job has led to the status of unemployed recent graduates who are no longer studying but not yet working. However, the recent graduate unemployed behave differently from other unemployed groups, as they have generally not yet worked full-time and are supported by their families.
