Abstract: Workforce development challenges are reshaping rural businesses and the communities they serve. Small businesses are vital anchors in rural areas, providing not only essential products and services but also serving as community gathering places that foster connection and local vitality. This article examines workforce statistics for rural and urban small businesses in the North Central Region (NCR) using data from the NCR-Stat: Small Business Survey (Wiatt et al., 2024).
