摘要：Economie restructuring, a term that has recently come into vogue, refers to a process of dramatic reorganization ofeconomic activity. Production technology, location of production sites, organizational hierarchies, and trade patterns throughout North America have changed substantially during the past decade. Restructuring is not unique to the present, however. Individual industries and entire regional economies have changed dramatically at different intervals in the past in response to changing circurnstances. These changes have led to labour being released from agriculture and other primary activities typically located in rural areas and also rural jobs in trade, service, and infrastructure being consolidated into fewer and larger places. What is different about the present restructuring is its pervasiveness and rate of change. Most industries and most regions, urban as weB as rural, are participating in the current realignment of jobs, industries and markets.
