abstract: 'Local economic disparities, particularly lower average wages, higher

  overall unemployment rates and higher poverty rates may lead to rural

  urban differences in the use of public programs designed to support

  working low-income families. This study analyzes the dynamics of program

  participation and employment stability for rural and urban families in

  the Oregon childcare subsidy program. While families'' demographic

  characteristics, employment stability, and participation in work support

  programs were similar, families in rural noncore counties tended to make

  less use of public assistance, including childcare subsidies, food

  stamps and welfare, than did families in metropolitan and micropolitan

  counties.'
