“…Some empirical work has been undertaken to explore the labour catchments of employers, although in general this strand of enquiry has been comparatively neglected. Lonsdale (1966) describes and analyses the labour catchments of two textile employers in North Carolina whilst Scott (1984) outlines the local labour market for animated film workers in Los Angeles. Hanson and Pratt (1992) discuss the social geography of local labour markets in Massachusetts together with the catchments of selected employers.…”

IntroductionThere is an extensive literature on spatial mobility within the labour market dealing with a wide variety of themes such as the spatial mismatch between place of residence and place of work (Holzer, 1991), geographically accessible work as a factor in employability (McQuaid and Lindsay, 2005), and the determinants of labour-market spatial mobility (Coombes and Raybould, 2001;Preston and McLafferty, 1999;Schwanen et al, 2002). Latterly, there has been a growing awareness of place-specific variations in spatial mobility within labour markets both as a policy issue (Blumenberg and Shiki, 2004) and as a methodological theme (Schwanen et al, 2002). We aim to contribute to this body of literature, particularly on place-specific variations, through the examination of the relationship between place of residence and location of workplace at entry to employment for twenty-eight different employment sites across Northern Ireland (NI).In doing so we focus on the`labour sheds' (Vance, 1960) or labour catchments of these employers as a specific element, looking at them from the perspective of the individual, site, and residential contexts that shape the spatial behaviour of individual workers who make up each catchment. Morrison (2005) suggests that this concept, together with that of the`employment field'öthe employment opportunities within

“…Surveys of the labor force of single major employers are common in geographic research, but most have used manufacturing firms (Roseman, 1971;Erickson, 1977;Lonsdale, 1966;Clemente and Summers, 1975;Mitchelson and Fisher, 1981). The worktrip behavior of university employees is of interest for two reasons.…”

“…Plants requiring up to a thousand or more workers may find all the labour they need because country residents have demonstrated a willingness to commute up to thirty miles. 12 Inasmuch as the rural popUlation density is often fairly high, a labour-shed extending out thirty miles can encompass a rather large population. Long-distance commuting by country residents has been made possible by widespread automobile ownership and a relatively dense network of paved roads.…”

An explanation is sought for the general lack of any significant amount of decentralization in Australia. Major, ongoing trends in the decentralizing of manufacturing industries in the United States are examined, and an attempt is made to identify specific forces attracting industry to country locations and those deterring it. Detailed comparison of the American and Australian situations reveals marked differences in the presence of conditions that either promote or discourage decentralization. It is concluded that, on present indications, the outlook for decentralization in Australia remains unfavourable.
