Poultry Processing Created More Rural Jobs than Red-Meat Packing During the 1980's

Abstract

Red-meat packing and poultry processing were among very few food processing industries to experience employment growth in rural counties during the 1980's. Red-meat packing expanded mainly in the Plains and Com Belt, and poultry processing expanded in the Delmarva Peninsula and other pockets of the South. Input-output analysis shows that an increase in consumer demand for poultry adds more processing jobs than an equivalent increase in demand for red meat because poultry processing is more labor intensive.
