Financing Rural America: A Conference Summary

چکیده
After a steep recession in the 1980s, many rural places are mounting a strong economic comeback in the 1990s. Rural counties, for instance, have added jobs in the 1990s at about 1.8 percent annually, compared with meager gains in the 1980s. And some counties, especially trade centers or those with scenic amenities that have attracted retirees and tourists, are posting stronger growth than metropolitan areas. Reflecting the economic turnaround, more people are moving to rural areas. For example, 1,818 of the nation’s 2,359 rural counties had population gains in 1995 compared with half that number in 1990.
