Nonmetro Labor Markets in the Era of Welfare Reform.
Gibbs, Robert
Rural America, v16 n3 p11-21 Fall 2001
Rural job growth remains behind that of metro areas, hindering efforts to move welfare recipients into successful employment. Those most in need of public assistance have less education, lower earnings, and higher unemployment than average. Welfare recipients are concentrated in rural areas marked by chronic economic distress and low-skilled, low-paying jobs, which reinforces the need for public assistance. (Author/TD)
