AN INTERVIEW SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED IN CHICAGO TO DETERMINE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN EMPLOYMENT STATUS AND MOBILITY AND TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE EMPLOYED DIFFERED FROM THE UNEMPLOYED IN TERMS OF THEIR ATTITUDES TOWARD AND EXPERIENCES WITH THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. DIFFERENCES IN ACCESSIBILITY TO THE TRANSIT SYSTEM ON THE PART OF THE TWO GROUPS ARE INVESTIGATED, AND DEPENDENCE ON PUBLIC TRANSIT FOR THE TRIP TO WORK IS ALSO STUDIED. THE INFLUENCE OF THE TRANSIT SYSTEM ON JOB SEARCH PATTERNS IS DETERMINED, AND COMPARISONS ARE MADE BETWEEN THE EMPLOYED AND UNEMPLOYED. THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE TWO GROUPS DIFFER IN KNOWLEDGE OF THE SYSTEM AND THE EFFECTS OF THIS KNOWLEDGE ON THEIR TRAVEL CHOICES ARE EXAMINED. FINALLY, QUALITY OF TRANSIT SERVICE IS RATED ALONG SEVERAL DIMENSINS FOR EACH GROUP OF RESPONDENTS, AND DIFFERENCES ARE ANALYZED. THE RESULTS ARE REVIEWED IN TERMS OF THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO A PROJECT THAT HAS THE OBJECTIVE OF REDUCING UNEMPLOYMENT IN CHICAGO BY IMPROVING THE PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM SO AS TO PROVIDE A BETTER LINKAGE BETWEEN THE UNEMPLOYED AND AVAILABLE JOBS. /AUTHOR/
