Abstract
A critical problem facing American society is the growing physical separation of racial minority groups from the jobs being created in suburbia. This separation has at least two dimensions. The first, and the one that has attracted the most attention, is the continued concentration of racial minority groups in central cities, where they are isolated from the growing number of jobs in suburbia. Although this city/suburban dichotomy has been recognized, the physical separation of jobs from minority groups that are located within suburbia itself is of increasing importance—but this phenomenon has not been widely studied. In this research note, the authors concentrate on the relationship between spatial patterns of suburban job growth and black suburbanization.Keywords
