Abstract: Nearly one-third of US nonmetropolitan counties that began the 1990s with persistent high poverty were not high-poverty counties by the end of the decade. Aside from the poverty rate at the beginning of the decade, it is found that employment growth, along with indicators of the initial quality of the labour force and level of human-capital, increased the probability of counties moving out of persistent high-poverty status.
