Rural Manufacturing Counties on Upswing Again.

Bluestone, Herman; Myers, Paul R.

Rural Development Perspectives, v4 n1 p40-41 Oct 1987

The Nation's 678 rural manufacturing-dependent counties, hit much harder than other rural counties, have since been recovering more. Total employment growth in rural manufacturing counties exceeded growth in nonmanufacturing counties by about 1 percentage point during 1982-84 and by almost 3 percentage points during 1984-86.
