Abstract

Producer services grew much faster than other industries in both nonmetro and metro areas during the 1980's, but remain highly concentrated in urban areas. Among the 25 producer services industries, nonmetro areas gained a slightly larger share of employment in some, while losing slightly in others. The decentralizing industries average lower wages than the centralizing industries, suggesting that rural areas are more attractive to lower skilled, ''back office" services.
