Employers Will Need to Shift Job Opportunities as Suburb Demographics Change

Transportation is a fundamental requirement of human life. That's why a new report about "the suburbanization of jobs" from the Brookings Institution is so disheartening. It finds that "the typical job is accessible to only about 27 percent of its metropolitan workforce by transit in 90 minutes or less. The suburbanization of jobs obstructs transit’s ability to connect workers to opportunity and jobs to local labor pools." 

These findings led me to ask the report's author, Adie Tomer, some questions.

My job moved from Crystal City where I could carpool to work every day via the slug lines, to Vienna where I am forced to either drive 50 miles a day for work or drive to Metro and make it a 4 hour commute. The neighborhood hates the building because it's loud and no one who works there can afford to live anywhere close.
