1980's A Decade of Broad Rural Stress

Abstract

With a decade's perspective, the 1970's "Rural Renaissance" is looking more like an interlude than a harbinger of the future. The 1980's marked a return to the patterns of outmigration typical of rural America in this century. Employment rose (albeit slightly), but so did unemployment and poverty. Not all the rural indicators went up: real income and education declined. Enhanced rural linkages with national and global marketplaces may be the key to improving the rural situation.
