Employment in Different Places

Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer notes that employment opportunities vary from one city to another, one region to another, and even one neighborhood to another. Further, the writer points out that they also vary greatly in terms of different opportunities for different kinds of jobs and different industries. In this paper, the writer discusses the differences in searching for a job in the two different areas of New York and California. The writer also makes personal comments in this regard. The writer concludes that employment statistics are different for the two states, of course, but to the individual, each job sought is unique and carries with it a unique set of issues, requirements, and opportunities.

From the Paper:

"The automobile is much less important in New York City and indeed is often a liability in that city. The transit system in the city is well-developed and extensive, enabling the individual to get virtually anywhere in a reasonable amount of time. Interestingly, this has a somewhat different effect on employment than one might think, at last for many people. In Southern California, the automobile takes the individual throughout the city so that he or she might work some distance from home in spite of the problems this creates for people without a vehicle. Those people may not be able to ravel as far for work and are limited in the choices they can make as a result. In New York, while the transit system is extensive and efficient, commuters may come from out of town on trains and then make use of the local transit system. The system in New York is quite different from that in Los Angeles, but the effect on the worker is much the same, allowing him or her to live some distance from where they work."
