Abstract
-
In this paper the role of suburban labor markets on unemployment in New York City is discussed. The issue is considered by using both time series and cross-sectional data to analyze factors which influence the demand and supply sides of the labor market.;To consider the demand side, the impact of growing suburban labor markets is considered. Initially the paper looks at the suburban share of the regional labor market and how it affects unemployment in New York City. Later the market is broken down into nine major industries for more detailed analysis. The key industries in the analysis are found to be, transportation and public utilities, wholesale trade, and finance, insurance and real estate.;The issue of supply is looked at in two ways; a general model and then by analyzing eight specific neighborhoods within New York City. Four major issues are considered for analysis. They are discrimination, education, neighborhood stability and income levels, and travel to selected work places. There is some indication of racial discrimination but education levels no doubt play a role. Neighborhood stability had little effect but the same cannot be said with respect to income levels.;The results indicated that if any reverse commuting is done from New York City to the outlying areas it is done through the use of an automobile. Because of the lack of adequate public transportation facilities they are not a major factor in reverse commuting. However they do play a major role in travel to Manhattan. The vast subway and bus network is the likely reason. The results for the general supply model are generally more definitive than those for the neighborhood models.
