Foreign Investment Boosts Rural Economies

Amy Glasmeier and Norman Glickman

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1990, vol. 06, issue 3

Abstract: Rural firms garnered about 10 percent of all foreign investment in U.S. manufacturing firms through 1986. About two-thirds of that meant new jobs, since it represented new money coming into an area, rather than a purchase of an existing firm or plant. The South benefited in a big way from overseas investors, netting 44 percent of the rural total.
