(Transportation-News.com, May 02, 2013 ) London, Uk -- According to new data, the American jobs that seem to have vanished over the last half-decade have gone to multiple outlets, including the suburbs of the country.
While some jobs have been shifted to automation, and others have moved clear overseas, there are still other jobs that have found their way out to the suburbs of the United States, rather than
staying within metropolitan areas.
From 2000 to 2010, the share of jobs near city centers has declined in 91 of 100 of the largest U.S. Metropolitan areas, according to the report from Brookings Institution of Washington,
D.C.. As of 2010, nearly 43% of all jobs were 10 or more miles from the cities' central business districts. That number is considerably higher than the 23% of jobs that are within three miles of the same centers.
The jobs may have been moving only a few miles in some cases, but the overall shift of the massive scale movement can have particular consequences that are not always glaringly obvious at first glance. The move also has environment and public resource impacts.
"Low-density, sprawling development can lead to increased energy consumption, strains on infrastructure, longer commute times, and greater challenges connecting workers to employment," says Elizabeth Kneebone, the report's author and a fellow at Brookings.
There are several factors contributing to the job sprawl. One is the total number of jobs available in the metro areas. Cities have more jobs, and have a greater share of those jobs that lie within
the outer ring. The recession also slowed decentralization, but Kneebone stated that certain cities experienced “hollowing out,” to which city centers lots jobs quickly compared to suburb
rings.
Job decentralization could have an impact that involves long commutes into cities such as New York and D.C., adding to the already long commutes many deal with. Health issues such as
obesity, high blood pressure, and stress are also attached to longer commutes for individuals.
