Abstract

The pattern of local labour market areas across Britain reflects the distribution of jobs and of employed and unemployed residents. There has been a long-term trend towards longer distance journeys to work as people moved out of major cities, first to the suburbs then to the more rural areas beyond. More recently, employment has been decentralising also. Since the late 1970s, recession has also had a substantial impact on commuting patterns, particularly in those local areas where job loss has been severe. In this article the influence of these various processes on commuting patterns is assessed by comparing the latest set of Travel-To-Work Areas with those defined on the basis of earlier information on commuting flows.
