The great recession and the public sector in rural America
研究美国大衰退后农村地区恢复慢于城市的原因，发现地方公共部门就业因税收和转移支付减少而大幅下降，农村地区尤其依赖公共部门，导致长期就业损失。
Abstract Why did rural areas recover from the great recession much more slowly than metropolitan areas? Due to declining tax revenues and intergovernmental aid, employment in the American local government sector fell substantially after the great recession. Cuts to local public employment were especially large, long-lasting and consequential in rural areas, which have become relatively dependent on public-sector employment and intergovernmental transfers. The public sector is relatively inconsequential in urban America, but in many rural places, a decade after the great recession, the public sector was the slowest category of employment to recover and the leading source of long-term job losses.
