Employment dispersal is less well documented because of the
unavailability of time series data on the location of employment
within metropolitan areas. Even so, the fragmentary evidence
strongly suggests a rapid dispersal of employment.8 This employment
dispersal is significant to this paper for two reasons. Jobs
traditionally held by Negroes appear to be suburbanizing at an
equal, and very possibly at an above-average rate, while there is
only token suburbanization of Negro households.
