abstract: 'The persistence of poverty in the modem American Economy, with rates of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
poverty in some areas approaching those of less advanced economies,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remains a central concern among policy makers. Therefore, in this study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we use U.S. county-level data to explore potential explanations for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
observed regional variation in the rates of poverty. The use of counties
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
allows Examination of both nonmetropolitan area and metropolitan area
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
poverty factors considered include those that relate to both area
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic performance and area demographic composition. Specific county
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic factors examined include economic growth, industry
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
restructuring, and labor market skills mismatches.'
