We’ll see how this plays out in the rural areas.
My county (Otsego) just showed another decline in population in the 2020 census. That’s two decades in a row now.
Our schools have declining enrollment. Businesses struggle to survive and in particular the last 2 years, many haven’t.
We can’t find enough workers, skilled and unskilled alike, to support our health care facilities, schools, and businesses.
Something has got to change or it’s going to be tumbleweeds here soon.
