      abstract = {Manufacturing has been expanding in the rural Great  Plains, more rapidly than in the rest of the rural United  States, but much of the expansion has been to larger,  growing places and much has been in meat packing, which  tends to hire low-skill workers—a group in relatively short  supply in much of the region. Manufacturers in areas of  substantial population loss report problems with finding  labor and, even more often, with the attractiveness of the  area to managers and professionals. The rural Great Plains  seems particularly suited to advanced technology  manufacturing, if the problem of attracting managers and  professionals could be eased. Manufacturers in the region  participate heavily in government programs, but no more so  than in other rural regions. Those in areas of decline have  tended to receive greater support.},
