Complex socio‐economic and spatial relations combine uniquely in different locations within the city to create variable employment prospects for the poor. Drawing on a survey conducted among low income housing residents of Edmonton, this article investigates the spatial variations in employment‐related problems faced by the urban poor, and explores their views on the causes of poverty and unemployment.
