Reply to comment by [deleted] in Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico

That's just what they want you to believe.

For example, in the USA Louisiana has the highest murder rate by state. Quick Google for example. 18% (33) of the 177 murders occurred in rural counties.

Alabama has the second highest of states, Source, 21% (8) of the 38 murders occurred in rural areas.

And here is a World population source which mentions that of all five highest, it's due to their urban areas.
