The effect of mining on agricultural hired labor in the Northern Great Plains
1980
Adams, R.M. | Menkhaus, D.J.
Extract: The descriptive evidence lends plausibility to the assertion that the mining industry is accelerating the transfer of labor from agriculture. The typical economic base in many of the rural areas experiencing energy expansion is livestock oriented with no industrial base other than mining. This simple economic structure and the isolation of energy extraction sites from more populous areas of the region suggest that mining employment (and rising wages) may indeed represent an opportunity cost of agricultural employment.
