Can One Commute To NY From Lake George Area?

I found information on the new home construction lake george on the Internet last week. It really looks like a wonderful new home area with some breathing space. I am so tired of living in New york. My one concern is, can you realistically commute from Lake George to new York on a daily basis. It seems like it would get old pretty fast. Are there lots of jobs available in Albany which is a lot closer? I could get a job there for a shorter drive, but I really need the income of a job. My husband likes the area and is pretty set on buying a house there. He is willing to make the drive.
