  4. In rural areas, there are fewer employment opportunities, lower educational levels, higher unemployment rates, and there is little or no public transportation compared with urban areas. Many rural areas lack the infrastructure, such as transportation, necessary for delivering human services. Approximately 41% (1,260) of all rural counties are without public transportation.(Arnold and Seekins:1997) • Eighty-five percent of our nation's high-poverty counties are not metropolitan. Poverty Rates for rural African Americans and American Indians are 10 percentage points higher than their urban counterparts (Beth2009:14) • Approximately 56 million or, 20 percent of all U.S. households, reside in rural areas with 7.5 million of rural households earning incomes that meet the federal poverty level. The decline in manufacturing jobs and resultant high unemployment rates in rural areas have prompted residents to pursue employment in the service industry. Unfortunately, these jobs often do not include health insurance or other benefits leaving newly employed individuals to become even more impoverished (Shobe and Boyd 2003:65) Literature review
