Peer reviewedKassab, Cathy; Luloff, A. E. – Journal of the Community Development Society, 1993

Results showed that community investment to attract service jobs should be at an appropriate level relative to job quality and be made with an understanding of the risks. (SK)

Weinberg, Mark L. – Rural Development Perspectives, 1987
