Rural Residents Get Equal Pay with Most, But Not All, Newcomers

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1985, vol. 01, issue 2

Abstract: Migrants who had moved to a rural area of southern Kentucky within the last 5 years earned no more, on average, than long-term residents. But those who had moved to the area 5-10 years earlier earned far more, despite similar characteristics with the recent migrants. This article identifies the significant factors influencing wages for each group of residents in a rapidly growing nonmetro area.
