Abstract	Whites benefit more than blacks from rural economic growth according to the findings of a 1982 survey of over 75,000 households in 10 rural counties in southern Georgia, selected to represent fast growing nonmetro areas with mixed manufacturing and commercial agriculture-based economies with substantial minority populations. From 1976 to 1981, a period of rapid employment growth, the percentage of white women with jobs in the study area increased, while the percentage of black men with jobs decreased. Among employed persons, whites increased their share of higher wage jobs. Persons who moved into the area obtained higher paying jobs than did other residents. These immigrants, most of whom were white, in general took larger shares of the new jobs than did continuous residents of both racial groups. Among nonworking adults in 1981, blacks were more likely than whites to report that they wanted to work. Nonworking blacks, more than nonworking whites, reported that they could not find jobs or that they could not meet hiring requirements. Low education levels, which may be reflected in low skill levels, prevented blacks from sharing more in increased job opportunities. Improving the education and job training of poor residents, especially blacks, is essential to distributing economic benefits more equally. (Author/NEC)
