Abstract

Residential and employment locational decisions for working households are frequently commingled. Numerous economic and social factors like job accessibility, wage differentials, housing markets, travel time, trip-chaining opportunities, dual employment, and other quality-of-life considerations influence where a household ultimately chooses to reside relative to places of employment. These choices in turn shape commuting patterns within a region. Using the U.S. Census Bureau's LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES), the authors explore longitudinal changes in the growth of commuting patterns based on commuters traveling 50 miles or more between their place of residence and place of employment for counties in Midwestern states from 2002 to 2019. The authors find that the rate of commuters traveling 50 miles or more appears to have increased in rural areas across several periods and regions. Thus, rural communities concerned about labor supply constraints must take into consideration more expansive geographic labor markets and approach labor force development in partnership across local economic development institutions. In essence, the growth in commuting sheds requires stronger regional partnerships to address the issue.

通勤模式的增长及其对农村劳动力和经济发展的影响

工作家庭的居住和就业地点决定往往是混合的。许多经济和社会因素，如工作可及性、工资差异、住房市场、旅行时间、旅行连锁机会、双重就业和其他生活质量因素，都会影响家庭最终选择居住在就业地点的位置。这些选择反过来又塑造了一个地区的通勤模式。利用美国人口普查局的LEHD原籍地-目的地就业统计数据（LODES），作者探讨了2002年至2019年中西部各州各县通勤者在居住地和就业地之间行驶50英里或以上的通勤模式增长的纵向变化。作者发现，在几个时期和地区，农村地区50英里或以上的通勤率似乎有所上升。因此，关注劳动力供应限制的农村社区必须考虑到更广阔的地理劳动力市场，并与当地经济发展机构合作发展劳动力。从本质上讲，通勤棚的增长需要更强有力的区域伙伴关系来解决这个问题。

期刊介绍： Economic development—jobs, income, and community prosperity—is a continuing challenge to modern society. To meet this challenge, economic developers must use imagination and common sense, coupled with the tools of public and private finance, politics, planning, micro- and macroeconomics, engineering, and real estate. In short, the art of economic development must be supported by the science of research. And only one journal—Economic Development Quarterly: The Journal of American Economic Revitalization (EDQ)—effectively bridges the gap between academics, policy makers, and practitioners and links the various economic development communities.
