Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1986, vol. 03, issue 01

Abstract: Nonmetro unemployment rates have been higher than metro rates since 1979, reversing earlier patterns. Two subsequent national recessions have tended to hurt nonmetro economies more than metro areas, and nonmetro areas have been slower to recover. In 1984, the average annual unemployment rate for nonmetro areas was 8.1 percent, compared with 7.3 percent for metro areas.
