Spatial Patterns in Employment in
St. Louis and Kansas City, 1980-2000

Peter Mueller - Spring 2008

This series of maps depicts the spatiality of labor force over time.  The study areas are the Kansas City Metropolitan Area (KCMA) and the St. Louis Metropolitan Area (SLMA).  Figures are derived from tract level historical census data on employment.  Visualizations of these employment data show interesting patterns in labor force dispersion and the spatial distribution of unemployment.
