At least where I live, more and more businesses are moving into the suburbs as well. This phenomenon is called "edge cities" [0]. Someone who lives in an outer suburb will likely find themselves working in a suburban office park or a massive sprawling campus, not a skyscraper downtown. For this matter, I know people who live in inner-ring suburbs and commute to outer-ring suburbs! [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_city https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_city

Technically, that kinda describes my current situation, and it's been this way for a while now. I live in what used to be a suburb when my home was built in the early 1970s (now it's more part of an "inner ring"). I "commute" about 15-30 minutes away to my job (software engineer) where my employer is located in an industrial business park area, on the more outer edge of the city (but not the extreme outer edge). My last three or four employers have been like this mostly, but this one has been the closest to home, and it is pretty nice not having to drive so far for a change.
