Local Civil Service: ‪. ‪From Internal Mobility to Spatial Mobility?

Abstract

?In contrast to their peers working for the State, the trajectories of local government employees have long been marked by stability instead of spatial mobility. This article re-examines this local hiring and career model and analyses its contemporary critiques, through a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the personnel files of a small city. The rising importance of geographical mobility is concomitant with the increasing rarity of social mobility over the course of one?s working life, and yet the majority of this city?s public employees remain locally rooted. To understand the limited progress of the effort to make professional careers mobile, the article identifies the unequal costs and benefits of mobility according to generational, social, and gendered factors.?
