Changes in Industries Located in the Nonmetropolitan South, 1959–1969

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1974, vol. 56, issue 2, 306-309

Abstract: Southern counties more than 50 miles from an SMSA experienced nonfarm job growth in the 1960's. Manufacturing jobs, especially in electrical equipment, transportation equipment, chemicals, and furniture industries shifted more toward nonmetro locations. Consequently, the Southern nonmetro industry mix was not solely of the lowest-wage and most labor-intensive components.
