Abstract

In 1987, worker poverty rates were 10 percent in nonmetro areas compared with 5.7 percent in metro areas. Limited employment opportunities, in terms of the number and kinds of jobs available to nonmetro workers, account for much of the higher nonmetro worker poverty rate, while individual, family, and employment attributes largely determine which workers will be poor.
