Some rural job growth:

Outer suburbs still have the fastest job growth.

An important gap is narrowing a bit: job growth accelerated in rural areas.

It's a pendulum. It costs $1000 to rent a U-Haul in the Bay Area now - rents can make you homeless. IT clusters will build elsewhere, remote/distance work will cintinue to grow, moms will still do more work online from home... but it's spotty.

Krugman's thread of 3 other tweeted comments inspired by the piece:

One point I find interesting: around two decades ago, there was a debate about whether information technology would promote or reduce urban concentration, e.g. this paper by Gaspar and Glaeser 2/ https://www.nber.org/papers/w5562

Forget the Suburbs, It’s Country or Bust/For some New Yorkers, being priced out of the city means it’s time to move to the woods.

But a true rural revival seems very unlikely. And while moving to the big city may help many individuals, those who can't or won't move are going to be bitter for a long time 4/
