In the Philadelphia region, highway and rail networks were designed decades ago to shuttle people between suburban homes and jobs in the city. Today, about three-quarters of the region’s jobs are located in the suburbs. From 1970 to 2013, employment in Philadelphia fell 23 percent, while jobs in the suburbs doubled.

The result: Highways that are at or above capacity, train stations miles from major employment centers, and one of the worst commutes in the country.

The map shows circles representing the number of jobs in each municipality in the suburbs, and in zip codes in Philadelphia.

Slightly less than half of all workers in the region live and are employed in their

for those who cross county lines to get to their jobs.

Among people who both live and work in the region, only 13 percent commute from homes in the suburbs to jobs in Philadelphia.

President Obama’s directiveTuesday tightening federal reg-ulations on gun dealers andbackground checks drew luke-warm reaction in Pennsylva-nia and New Jersey.

The executive action wouldhave little impact in New Jer-sey, which has some of thestrictest gun laws in the coun-try. And in Pennsylvania, itwould affect only private salesof rifles, shotguns, and otherlong guns.

Pennsylvania law already re-quires a background check forall handgun sales. If the pur-chase is arranged online, be-tween neighbors or at a gunshow, the seller must get a

third party — typically a li-censed dealer or local law en-forcement — to complete abackground check on the sell-er and broker the transaction.

Tom Clayton, owner of Clay-ton’s Hunting & Fishing in Wil-low Grove, said his store al-ready processes several pri-vate sales a day, and encourag-es customers to get cleared forlong guns even if it wasn’t le-gally required.

Despite the president’s re-newed push for regulation,business wasn’t any morebrisk Tuesday than it has beensince the terrorist attack inSan Bernardino, Calif., lastmonth, Clayton said.

Embattled state Supreme CourtJustice J. Michael Eakin tried to in-stall new leaders in Philadelphia’smassive court system by pushing hiscolleagues on the high court to actbefore three new justices joined thebench this week.

Chief Justice Thomas Saylor andtwo other justices confirmed Tues-day that Eakin had urged them toput new leaders in place last month,but said they rejected his proposal.

Eakin’s move would have cut thenew justices out of a major decision,handing out a political plum right be-fore they took office: oversight of thenation’s fifth-largest court system.

Leaders of the Philadelphia courtscontrol a $110 million annual budget,bestow lucrative contracts, employ2,400 workers without civil serviceprotection, make important legaland policy decisions, and hand outcoveted assignments to the system’s120 judges.

Eakin’s thwarted maneuver wasamong his last moves before his

Dec. 22 suspension from office as heawaits a trial on ethics charges.

The Court of Judicial Disciplinesuspended the justice over his ex-change of what it described as offen-sive emails containing sexually ex-plicit images or jokes mockingblacks, gays, and other minorities.

The executive action wouldhave little impact in New Jer-sey, which has some of thestrictest gun laws in the coun-try. And in Pennsylvania, itwould affect only private salesof rifles, shotguns, and otherlong guns.

Pennsylvania law already re-quires a background check forall handgun sales. If the pur-chase is arranged online, be-tween neighbors or at a gunshow, the seller must get a

third party — typically a li-censed dealer or local law en-forcement — to complete abackground check on the sell-er and broker the transaction.

Tom Clayton, owner of Clay-ton’s Hunting & Fishing in Wil-low Grove, said his store al-ready processes several pri-vate sales a day, and encourag-es customers to get cleared forlong guns even if it wasn’t le-gally required.

Despite the president’s re-newed push for regulation,business wasn’t any morebrisk Tuesday than it has beensince the terrorist attack inSan Bernardino, Calif., lastmonth, Clayton said.

STAFF WRITERS

Embattled state Supreme CourtJustice J. Michael Eakin tried to in-stall new leaders in Philadelphia’smassive court system by pushing hiscolleagues on the high court to actbefore three new justices joined thebench this week.

Chief Justice Thomas Saylor andtwo other justices confirmed Tues-day that Eakin had urged them toput new leaders in place last month,but said they rejected his proposal.

Eakin’s move would have cut thenew justices out of a major decision,handing out a political plum right be-fore they took office: oversight of thenation’s fifth-largest court system.

Leaders of the Philadelphia courtscontrol a $110 million annual budget,bestow lucrative contracts, employ2,400 workers without civil serviceprotection, make important legaland policy decisions, and hand outcoveted assignments to the system’s120 judges.

Eakin’s thwarted maneuver wasamong his last moves before his

Dec. 22 suspension from office as heawaits a trial on ethics charges.

The Court of Judicial Disciplinesuspended the justice over his ex-change of what it described as offen-sive emails containing sexually ex-plicit images or jokes mockingblacks, gays, and other minorities.
