The Brookings Institute study concluded that: Steep employment losses following the Great Recession stalled the steady decentralization of jobs that characterized the early to mid-2000s. However, by 2010 nearly twice the share of jobs was located at least 10 miles away from downtown (43%) as within 3 miles of downtown (23%).Job losses in industries hit hardest by the downturn, including construction and manufacturing, helped check employment decentralization in the late 2000s. In all but nine of the 100 largest metro areas, the share of jobs located within three miles of downtown declined during the 2000s.Metro areas showing the greatest increase in jobs in the 10-35 miles radius from downtown include:Phoenix-Mesa-Glendale, AZ, San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX, Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX, and Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, TX.Metro areas showing the greatest loss of jobs within the 3 mile radius of downtown include:North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota, FL, Boise City-Nampa, ID, Jackson, MS, McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX, and Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FLSource:Job Sprawl Stalls: The Great Recession and Metropolitan Employment Location, Metropolitan Policy Program, Brookings Institute.

The Employment Dynamics is a compilation of statistical tables on employment, payroll and the number of businesses with employees for Canada, the provinces and territories. They are published annually by Statistics Canada’s Small Business and Special Surveys Division, which derives the Dynamics figures from information supplied by the Business and Labour Market Analysis Division. Primarily, the tables are used to analyze how businesses of different sizes contribute to employment change in the economy. Net year-over-year changes in total employment are broken down according to the following gross components, which are calculated for individual employment-size groupings of firms: Job gains attributed to newly identified employers; Job losses attributed to firms that ceased to be identified as employers; Job gains attributed to continuing employers that increased their respective employment levels; Job losses attributed to continuing employers that decreased their respective employment levels; The Dynamics are also useful in that they provide estimated counts of entries and exits of businesses from the employer population in Canada. The data cover all private and public sector businesses or organizations (including public administration) that issue T4 slips to employees for taxation purposes. Both incorporated and unincorporated entities are included, but only if they issue T4 slips to employees. In other words, non-employers are not included in the figures.
