Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted high unemployment rates throughout the country. However, rural counties with more labor-intensive agriculture (relatively more animal agriculture, dairy, etc.) were hit harder than rural counties with less labor-intensive agriculture (relatively more crops). The COVID-19 impact on rural unemployment has not been shared equally.
