Editor’s note: Every week we ship an email newsletter featuring the region’s most exciting career opportunities. We’ve lovingly called it This Week in Jobs (aka TWIJ — “twidge.”). Below is this week’s edition; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.

In many ways, moving walkways are a miracle. In airports and other large buildings, they’re a respite, a way for aging, young and disabled people to get around faster.

But if you think walking on these “magic carpets” is getting you to your gate faster, think again.

Studies from the Center of Aviation Studies at Ohio State University show that sans a moving walkway, travelers will typically keep a brisk 3 mph speed walking through the airport. When they step on the moving walkway, they actually slow down their speed, averaging about 2.2 mph. So if you’re dashing to catch a flight, you’ll likely get there faster on foot without the moving sidewalk.

With all that time saved, you can take a leisurely stroll through this week’s jobs.
