Labor Market Behavior in Small Towns

Behavior of workers and firms in the labor market has been analyzed in a number of recent studies; these studies have been concerned, however, with relatively large, industrially diversified communities. This article discusses research findings on labor market behavior in four small nondiversified towns. Comparisons are made with the results of the studies in the larger cities to ascertain the similarities and contrasts in labor force participation, methods of job hunting and job choice, and other aspects of market behavior.
