Abstract

Researchers in USDA's Economic Research Service have identified 200 nonmetro counties where mining (coal, gas and oil, and minerals) provided 20 percent or more of total earnings in 1979. These counties contain about 6 percent of the total nonmetro population. Nonmetro mining counties differ from other nonmetro counties in that they have relatively few service jobs and tend to be located farther from large cities.
