Manufacturing Restructuring and Rural Economies: Job Growth but Lagging Wages

Author

  • Bernat, G. Andrew, Jr.

Abstract

Many nonmetro areas gained manufacturing jobs during the 1980's, while metro areas lost manufacturing jobs. The nonmetro gain, however, was accompanied by wages that fell further below metro wages. Two factors contributing to the deterioration in relative wages were the continuing concentration of nonproduction labor in metro areas and slower labor productivity growth in nonmetro manufacturing.
