Skills Training and Manufacturing Innovations Are Key To Raising Rural Workers' Wages.
Olmsted, Jennifer C.; Cook, Peggy
Rural Conditions and Trends, v11 n2 p56-61 Dec 2000

Low-wage workers, who are concentrated in rural areas, are less likely to receive training. Encouraging training and skills enhancement among more vulnerable low-wage workers may enhance their future earning capabilities. (Author/TD)
