ABSTRACT
Every winter Americans await the Super Bowl—both the National Football League championship game and advertising pageantry that is associated with it. Winning the "best commercial" has benefits. In 1999, a business centered on finding people jobs went big. The choice of house and job are two location-based decisions that greatly affect the amount of travel one has to do. Choosing a home closer to work will reduce total work commuting, while choosing a job far from home will have the opposite effect. The accepted practice for jobseekers used to be occupied by a process of engaging in local social networks. Social network models have identified the long-neglected informal jobseeking process, but cannot explain formal jobseeking processes. A simulation model has been constructed in silica, and demonstrates the feasibility of matching jobseekers with employers using information about the jobseeker and their information about jobs, with the requirements of the job.
