The reasoning in the article is flawed. It is possible that smaller towns like Ames, IA, and Logan, UT, are faring better because no one expects to find work there and people looking for work quickly leave and gravitate to larger metropolitan areas. Also these are college towns. So the unemployment statistics are skewed because of the disproportionate number of college students who spend money without necessarily competing for jobs.
