These are all small rural counties. Bad for them, but the large metropolitan areas are better off.
- simeonf 17y agoMy county (Stanislaus) is mostly rural but includes Modesto and Turlock (home of CSU Stanislaus). With a population of 1/2 a million we have unemployment rate of 18.9%. Directly north is San Joaquin County with Stockton as its largest city. Population of 700K and unemployment rate of 18.4%. We aren't exactly giant urban centers but we're still a long way from tiny (sub 75k population) counties like Yuba, Colusa, San Benito, etc. I'm not sure we're a great deal better off...
