Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics for the years 2011 to 2017, we find that a 1% increase in the daily commute of workers is associated with an increase of 0.018 and 0.027% in the days of sickness absence per year of male and female workers, respectively. These results are robust for women when sample selection, missing variables, and health status are explored. Further exploration of this relationship shows that the positive relationship between commuting and sickness absence is concentrated in urban areas only, and is present in the intensive margin (hours) for men and the extensive margin (participation) for women. By uncovering how commuting time is related to sickness absenteeism, we contribute to the literature on the negative correlation between commuting and workers’ health and well-being. 000117674 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-20R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-108348RA-I00 000117674 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000117674 590__ $$a1.3$$b2022 000117674 592__ $$a0.387$$b2022 000117674 591__ $$aECONOMICS$$b271 / 380 = 0.713$$c2022$$dQ3$$eT3 000117674 593__ $$aDevelopment$$c2022$$dQ2 000117674 593__ $$aGeography, Planning and Development$$c2022$$dQ2 000117674 593__ $$aEconomics and Econometrics$$c2022$$dQ3 000117674 594__ $$a2.3$$b2022 000117674 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000117674 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-9437-4606$$aMolina, J.
