| Abstract: | The work-place utilities and commuting patterns of the employed in Haifa's (Israel) metropolitan field are analyzed using the value-stretch methodology. Statistical test scores reveal class and place (location) variations in the perceived utilities of employed, especially in their commuting patterns (flows). A meaningful commuting pattern analysis should incorporate socioeconomic and demographic elements along with the spatial distribution of job opportunities. Some analytical and policy implications of employment strategies for a postindustrial metropolis are evaluated. |
