Paul Toomey Shares Insights on Rural Workforce Development in Forbes Business Council Article

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 14:21:53 GMT

How do we strengthen workforce development in rural parts of the United States? For the 46 million Americans who call rural communities their home, the answer is shaped by a complex mix of economic, demographic, and infrastructure-related challenges.

From population decline and an aging workforce to limited access to education and training, broadband gaps, industry concentration, and healthcare barriers, these communities face obstacles that can restrict job opportunities, slow career advancement, and make it more difficult for employers to build sustainable talent pipelines.

Yet there is also reason for optimism.

Rural employment sits at the crossroads of economic transformation, population change, and the opportunity to address infrastructure limitations. While these communities continue to face longstanding structural challenges, they also offer strong potential for sustainable growth when workforce strategies are aligned with local needs and opportunities.

Geographic Solutions’ President and Founder, Paul Toomey, explores these issues in greater detail in his latest Forbes Business Council article, highlighting both the challenges face and the opportunities ahead.
