Nonmetro Unemployment Tied to Major Industry in Regions.

Pollack, Susan; Pendleton, Shelley

Rural Development Perspectives, v3 n1 p38-39 Oct 1986

Unemployment rates vary considerably across nonmetro counties, where adjusted average annual unemployment rate was 12.2% in 1984 compared with 10.4% in metro areas. Differences in unemployment rates among nonmetro areas can be explained in part according to their dependence on agriculture, mining, manufacturing, or other single sources of income. (JHZ)
