Rethinking Small Businesses as the Best Way to Create Rural Jobs

Author

  • Miller, James P.

Abstract

It makes some local officials uneasy, but more than half of the new jobs in rural areas are created by branch plants of large corporations. Many areas try to encourage small local firms as sources of new jobs. New data, however, show that such firms create less than a third of new jobs and they are an unreliable employment source because many fail within their first 5 years of business.
