The distance between where people live and where they work is growing in most metro areas. Work days are starting earlier and commute times are getting longer as jobs are getting farther and farther away from where people live.

The new analysis of demographic and employment data completed by the Brookings Institution revealed that the number of jobs within the typical commute distance for residents of the nation’s 96 largest metro areas fell by 7 percent between 2000 and 2012. The new study also found that amongst 37 popular metro areas there was a rise in employment rate but also an increase in distance between jobs and residents.

Despite job growth in suburbs, suburban residents found themselves farther away from employment opportunities than city residents. The analysis found that 60 million suburban residents live in neighborhoods with declining proximity to jobs compared with around 33 million city residents.

Proximity to your place of employment is a very strong consideration when searching for a residence. No one wants the extra added stress of long commute times to your job. It takes a toll on your mental and physical health. The new data shows that regional economic development officials should not only make overall job growth a goal, but also consider where these jobs are going.
