rural employment
Farm work opportunities
Rural employment refers to work in areas outside cities and suburbs—typically agricultural regions, small towns, and sparsely populated communities.
The term appears in policy discussions about economic development, job creation, and the distinct challenges facing non-urban workers: Rural employment opportunities have declined as farms mechanize.
It encompasses farming, forestry, mining, and increasingly remote work and rural tourism.
