Yep 100%! That's because those are jobs the local gentry can't gatekeep. So if you ever wondered why local leaders in rural areas keep getting rid of schools & medical services & thought "That makes no sense!" Now you know why they do that. Public services bring people they can't control. 💀
It's also notable that rural areas with some sort of middle class employment center tend to be much less right wing. Places with colleges, federal projects, etc. Even the conservative small towns with the hospital or county seat are usually a bit less stiflingly right wing.
