The rural workforce refers to the group of individuals employed in non-urban areas, often engaged in industries such as agriculture, forestry, and manufacturing. This workforce plays a crucial role in supporting local economies and providing essential goods and services to both rural and urban populations. Many rural workers face unique challenges, including limited access to education and training opportunities, which can affect their job prospects. Additionally, rural areas may experience population decline, leading to labor shortages in key sectors. Efforts to enhance the rural workforce often focus on improving infrastructure, education, and job creation initiatives.
