Abstract: The economic rebound in the 1980's left most rural areas behind, especially those in the South and West with large concentrations of blacks and Hispanics. While urban incomes for white men rose a little more than 1 percent in real terms from 1979-87, rural incomes declined by nearly 3 percent for white men, about 13 percent for black men in the rural South, and 16 percent for Hispanic men in the rural West.
