Abstract: Industrial job growth appears to favor nonmetro areas and those regions of the country outside the Northeast and Midwest. During 1967-73, nonmetro areas had an 11.3-percent increase in industrial employment, while metro-area jobs dropped 3.2 percent. Employment in nonmetro areas increased in 18 of 20 major manufacturing industries, while metro-area employment declined in 11 industries. In all, manufacturing employment grew 0.8 percent, or by more than 145,000 jobs.
