Just so we're all clear, the exact wording of the relevant question, complete with the census form's capitalization, is:
"At what location did this person work LAST WEEK? If the person worked at more than one location, print where he or she worked most last week."
The census does this to avoid weird issues with people who've recently moved, but it will catch temporary business travelers and that sort of thing. Jmfsct for instance would probably now show up as commuting from Texas to Boston. Now obviously 16% of a county isn't at a business meeting in Seattle, but still the statistic will generally overestimate "commuters" in a normal sense.
