Hi Michael: Thanks for posting to Jobcase! Part of the problem might be that employers might not know if you'll be able to get to the job without a car. That's why I think it's worth reassuring them that you rely on public transportation, and that you'll never be late. Sometimes that might be all they need to hear to move forward with you. In the meantime, here are some laborer jobs hiring near you: http://bit.ly/298VoWN You can narrow it down to 1 or 5 miles, which can help you find a job super-close to you. Hope this helps!
