7. Perhaps maybe, but urban areas are where most of the jobs are, unless they're working in the fields, etc. Urban

areas also are likely to have more immigrants there too, as well as family members, friends, other members of their Country, it's like this in STLMO. The ethic mix in STLMO has always been here, Germans at one time, as well as other ethnic groups. Every major urban area has their own ethic mix. And I daresay, tons of these rural areas, depend upon these immigrants to handle their crops, do other chores that need doing on the farms, other related industries.

In the past, we have had lots of immigrants from Vietnam, Bosnia, etc. here in St. Louis MO.
