Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, vol. 16, issue 3

Abstract: Rural areas in Mississippi and South Carolina have had more difficulty than urban areas in reducing both cash assistance and food stamp program participation. These rural disadvantages might be overcome by improvements in rural transit to link rural residents to urban jobs and by increased child care and job training in rural counties.
