D. A Comparison of Occupational Employment and Wages in Metropolitan Areas and Nonmetropolitan Areas
نویسنده
چکیده
Less than 20 percent of all people work in nonmetropolitan areas in the United States, and their average hourly wage is over $3 less than that of people in metropolitan areas. However, by occupation, the concentration of workers and their wages in nonmetropolitan areas vary considerably from the national averages. Overall average salaries are higher in metropolitan areas than in nonmetropolitan areas, but there are some exceptions. While most jobs are more likely to be located in metropolitan areas, some jobs are more likely to be found in nonmetropolitan areas. This article explores the difference in occupational wages and employment in metropolitan areas and nonmetropolitan areas.
