Just as before the war a majority of the South was poor. In books such as Rick Bragg’s Ava’s Man and Hard Times Cotton Mill Girls by Victoria Byerly the lives of the working class poor in the New South were described in detailed oral histories.

A few of these groups lived in mill villages. Work in the mills could be dangerous.

The town only contains "about three hundred people" (1). A compact village, rather than a enormous village, helps substantiate the idea that this town is an average, run of the mill town. The town also manifests…

One of the biggest reasons why some may be put off from moving to a country town, are the types of careers or sometimes the lack of. In most small towns the job or career oppritunites have taken a great blow, we can take Quesnel for example.

By the year 1945 there were 950 people employed by the mine in Grand Saline, and that number doesn’t include the transportation jobs that were created by the mine either. The added income in town from the jobs created allowed for the local prices to fluctuate without dropping as far as they…

Of the 1718 municipalities that exist in Japan, 46% are classified as depopulated; despite occupying over half of the country’s total land, a mere 8% of the national population reside in these municipalities (Rural Independence Promotion Union).
