Abstract: The economic consequences of uneven development across counties in four Deep South states are examined along with the contributions of labor market characteristics such as racial composition to inequality. Findings show that while total inequality across counties declined from 1970 to 1980, differences in industrialization processes contributed to areal income inequality in the region. Also racial composition makes sizable contributions to a real income inequality, though it sometimes interacts with other labor market characteristics. It is concluded that uneven development has meant that not all areas or population subgroups share equally in the economic benefits of development.
