If it seems like most people keep driving after you exit the highway heading back to your Cobb County home, there's a reason.

Nearly two-thirds of Cobb's workforce commutes into the county, according to a recent study by the Atlanta Regional Commission.

The study pulled from its own 2014 jobs analysis and census data.

There are 211,313 people who come to Cobb to work from elsewhere. Going in the opposite direction on the highway, 188,993 Cobb residents leave the county to work.

And 122,083 folks live and work in Cobb — that's one third of the county's 333,396 workers.
