Thanks, Khris. It’s important to remember that every small town is different with their own workforce challenges and assets.

Naomi, I don’t have any hard data on what jobs rural people are looking for. Because “rural” covers so many different size towns as well as sparsely populated areas and includes 46 million people in the US Census count, there is no way to make a blanket statement. If you’re interested in a specific region, I’d look to local workforce data. Check with your state department of labor for local numbers.

There’s still some form of magic in small towns that larger cities do not have. Maybe it’s the slower pace of living–life seems to take its own sweet time in small towns. Small towns need to be open to new ideas, too, for its survival. I just hope that the change isn’t too drastic that it erases all traces of the proverbial old town charm.

I really liked this article.

I was wondering which jobs are people looking for in rural areas and is it the same jobs that are open?
