Abstract

Rapid employment growth between 1974 and 1979 in a nine-county study area of south central Kentucky provided job opportunities both for local residents and for persons with limited labor force experience. But, recent inmigrants held a disproportionate share of better paying executive jobs. This case study, which examines the distributional effects of rapid employment growth in a nonmetropolitan area, shows that inmigrants also held a disproportionate share of jobs in growing business establishments. Although manufacturing was the major economic force in the study area in January 1980, jobs in the private service sector increased more than in other sectors.
