“…Yet, the poor continue to face signifi cant barriers to employment while policymakers remain focused on three types of spatial strategies to improve their employment outcomes: moving jobs closer to job seekers, moving job seekers closer to jobs, and making it easier for job seekers to travel to existing jobs (Chapple, 2006;Ihlanfeldt & Sjoquist, 1998). My research fi ndings explain in part why these spatial strategies have not been more successful (Blumenberg & Pierce, 2014;Sanchez & Brennan, 2008).…”

“…However, there is serious debate about how much spatial barriers explain the poor employment outcome of Blacks, a debate fueled by the fact that most of these policies and programs have not been very successful in increasing the employment of the poor or racial minorities (Blumenberg & Pierce, 2014;Sanchez & Brennan, 2008). Ellwood (1986) fi nds little effect of job accessibility on youth employment rates in Chicago and thus claims that "the problem isn't space.…”

“…Cross-subsidization would not be ruled out across the board, but would require additional justification, for instance based on considerations of environmental externalities including climate change. Second, the model would provide a fundamentally different underpinning for the provision and financing of public transport services (or possibly also car ownership support schemes; [6]). These would no longer be seen as a form of charity, but rather as the means to uphold the formal mobility or accessibility rights of citizens.…”

“…Since MTO did not improve participants' access to jobs, MTO's disappointing employment outcomes cannot be seen as evidence that spatial mismatch was not the cause of poverty (Quigley & Raphael, 2008). In fact, Blumenberg and Pierce (2014) found that MTO movers who gained access to a car or public transit were positively related to employment outcomes after controlling the effect of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, housing attributes, and neighborhood quality.…”
