about the vicinity jobs network
|
Vicinity Jobs is a network of regional community employment and news portals whose mission is to help suburban and rural residents to find work close to their homes. Each Vicinity Jobs web site is a full fledged Search Engine providing easy access to local job postings published on hundreds of national, local, and corporate web sites. The Vicinity Jobs network also encourages local employers to recruit locally, by providing free basic job posting services, and charging below market rates for advanced services.
We see long-distance commuting as more than a personal nuisance. We think that it is the reason behind various social, environmental, and financial issues. If you commute 3 hours a day, you have 3 hours less to spend with your family and friends. If you drive 100 kilometers a day, you cause more pollution than if you drive 10 kilometers, even if you drive a very fuel-efficient car. Maintaining the infrastructure to accommodate mass commuting costs many tax dollars each year. If you work close to home, we all benefit.
