Description :
This article examines the spatial patterns of private sector and public sector non-agricultural jobs in rural Northeast Thailand. The results show that public jobs are over-represented in rural–remote regions, driving up the mean wage of this type of region. When considering private sector employment only, spatial wage and income differentials do exist, showing that workers in remote areas are economically more disadvantaged than workers in peri-urban area.
