Hogtowns and Rural Development

Author

Abstract

Hog-processing moved out of many cities and into many rural areas during the 1980's. For six small towns in the Corn Belt, new or reopened processing plants brought unexpected changes. The plants offered many more jobs than local labor surplus could fill and at lower wages than many residents would accept. Commuters and inmigrants filled many jobs, changing the age and racial/ethnic composition of the smallest towns.
