More Businesses Are Outsourcing–to Rural and Small Town U.S.A.

Is your small business dealing with an increased workload and more demand from clients and customers? That’s a good thing. But with the economy still uncertain, many of us are leery about taking on full-time employees to help with the workload–even when we’re overwhelmed.

Well, there is a solution–and it’s closer to home than you might think. I first wrote about the trend of "ruralsourcing" on Small Business Trends in the summer of 2010, when several news outlets reported on the practice. Essentially, ruralsourcing means outsourcing jobs–but instead of outsourcing to India or China, the jobs are being outsourced to small and rural communities in the United States.
