Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1984, vol. 01, issue 01

Abstract: New jobs in an agricultural area of southern Georgia were created in about equal numbers by new and existing establishments between 1976 and 1981. Most of the new jobs were in service establishments paying lower than average wages. Large establishments were more important sources of new Jobs than small ones. The findings presented here are based on one of a series of case studies by USDA’s Economic Development Division on employment growth in selected rural areas.
