==========

A new report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW) reveals that working adults in rural America are almost as likely (50%) as working adults in urban America (54%) to have a job that pays at least middle-class wages. The report highlights that the rural workforce comprises 13% of the total 25-to-64-year-old working population in the US and holds 12% of the good jobs. The report also points out that white workers are currently the only demographic group in rural America in which the majority hold a good job. The report recommends strategies such as comprehensive counseling services, training programs for women and underserved racial/ethnic groups, and high school-to-career pipelines to stimulate new growth in rural America.
