Jobs Follow People in the Rural Rocky Mountain West

Alexander C. Vias

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1999, vol. 14, issue 2

Abstract: Over the past 25 years, employment growth has followed population growth in the Rocky Mountain West. The allure of amenities to potential migrants and employers, especially for counties rich in pristine natural landscapes, has increased over time. As with other U.S. nonmetro counties, the service and trade sectors now dominate employment in the Rocky Mountains.
