The rural Midwest is undergoing fundamental changes with increased
competition from foreign agriculture; employment shifts from
higher-paying manufacturing to lower-paying service industries; the
displacement of local small town business by large discount stores
and shopping malls; overall population declines that threaten the
viability of schools, hospitals, and other public institutions,
along with an influx of minority groups that has led to strife in
some communities. Using data from the 2000 Census, this collection
examines the major demographic and employment trends in the rural
Midwestern states with special attention to the issues that state
and local policy makers must address in the near future. The
contributors are well known experts in their fields, and in these
original, previously unpublished materials they offer suggestions
on how the Internet and other technological advances offer new
opportunities for rural economies that local leaders can build on.
