Sure, but during a recession no one is moving into those areas and a LOT of unemployed are moving AWAY from them. The metrics look good because they misrepresent what’s actually happening.
- rayiner 7y agoActually the opposite is true: https://www.ers.usda.gov/webdocs/publications/90556/eib-200.pdf https://www.ers.usda.gov/webdocs/publications/90556/eib-200..... There was a significant rural to urban net migration during boom economies which slowed to zero during both the early 2000s recession and the 2008 recession. And in fact there was a small migration from urban back to rural during the last recession. The unemployment rate in Iowa peaked at a little more than half the national unemployment rate in 2009-2010.
