New South, Old Challenges.
Gibbs, Robert
Rural America, v15 n4 p2-6 Feb 2001

The rural South remains the nation's low-income and high-poverty region, and low education levels may limit the rural South's prospects for development. Underlying social and economic conditions that depend on and reinforce a low-skill population are not disappearing. (Author/SV)
