A sense of community is harder to find in urban centers. Many left their towns and came to cities to find employment. Now that manufacturing has chosen to use cheap labor, jobs have moved to countries and states in the U.S. that increase corporate profits. Rising political conservatism in rural and urban communities is the result. Loss of tax revenue is causing social services to decrease, especially in cities. Rural areas, however, are better able provide much of these services through volunteerism.
