jobtenais

Jobtenais is a fictional municipality used in academic examples and policy simulations to illustrate issues in local governance, labor markets, and urban planning.

The name and characteristics vary across texts, but the setting is typically a mid-sized town of roughly 15,000 to 25,000 residents with a mixed urban-rural character.

Situated along a hypothetical river valley or coast, Jobtenais combines services with a small manufacturing base, a logistics hub, and a commuter belt to a larger city.

Developed in the 1990s by researchers and instructors, its governance is usually described as a mayor-council system with a unicameral council and administrative departments.

In textbooks and case studies, Jobtenais is used to examine policy options on taxation, public spending, labor mobility, and municipal restructuring.

Because it is fictional, real-world data, such as population or wage statistics, do not apply; readers are advised to consult the original sources in a given case study.
