Factors Associated with the Development of Nonmetropolitan Growth Nodes in Producer Services Industries, 1980–1990*

Abstract: Over the 1980-1990 period, employment in producer services industries in the nonmetropolitan United States increased substantially. This growth resulted in the development of nonmetropolitan growth nodes in producer services industries. A growth node refers to a nonmetropolitan area that contains a greater than average concentration of employment in a particular industry sector relative to other nonmetropolitan areas. Moreover, this industry concentration not only increases over time, but also represents an im… Show more

“…Pitkin County, CO, Aspen's location). This finding was consistent with earlier research revealing a quality-of-life orientation to the location of producer services in rural areas (Goe, 2002), including those serving outside markets (Beyers and Lindahl, 1996). Finally, while little has been done on the outcomes of rural creative class presence, McGranahan and Wojan (2007) found an association between creative class and rural job growth.…”

“…The conventional approach to amenity-driven development has certainly stressed tourism, but not to the exclusion of other economic activities. The examination of both small, export-oriented producer services companies (Beyers and Lindahl 1996) and of concentrations of producer services firms (Goe 2002) in rural areas has emphasized the importance of recreational and quality-of-life attributes. Although the literature is somewhat skeptical of rural areas' ability to attract "new economy" firms though amenities and the possibility of a high quality of life (see Salvesan and Renski 2002), our findings are encouraging.…”

“…Indeed, while there is a voluminous literature on the basic connection between industry and poverty, there is scant research that investigates the way in which industry affects economic outcomes differently across places or types of places. Some research has explored variation in industry effects between nonmetropolitan and metropolitan areas (Gibbs, Kusmin, and Cromartie ; Goe ), but most research focuses on variation in economic outcomes only (e.g., unemployment rates, income inequality, median earnings) (Lobao ; McCall ). The primary exception is Green and Sanchez (), who investigate industry's relationship to underemployment and find that places with a historical dependence on manufacturing benefit less from manufacturing than areas that have only recently shifted economic activity into the manufacturing sector.…”
