More bad by far than good since I was a kid. The area peaked around 1980 in terms of good jobs with good benefits. I was still in high school at the time. The guidance counselors were not terrible but I don't think they really did much to steer a kid to where they needed to be post-public school.
There are fewer businesses operating and this has put increased pressure on the young to have to move away from family once public school is complete. Used to be at least 8 farm machinery dealers in the county in the 1960's and most are long gone. Vegetables and canning factories left in the 1960's. Area wide there are fewer car dealers but reasonable access to the big names. Retail has grown minimally as main street has been replaced by Wally World and a factory outlet mall. The net effect is more money is shipped out of the area versus mom and pop spending their profits at the auto dealer. 3000 dollar and under car lots probably see far more business than new auto dealerships. Teaching school is probably the best career outside of being a lawyer here but be aware if you are not connected you had better plan on your job being in the big city school district complete with apathetic kids and parents.
Just not much to be excited about anymore never mind grain and milk being down and looking to stay that way. I think the system is broken as it is but what to do about it is anybody's guess. I consider myself a capitalist but that system works best when there is a sense of honesty and fair play employed. We have not seen much of either in the last 20-30 years.
