After nearly a decade when US drug overdose death rates were higher in rural parts of the country, drug death rates have shifted to be higher in urban areas, according to a new analysis from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics.Researchers found that from 1999 through 2003, drug overdose death rates were higher in urban counties than in rural counties. Then, from 2004 through 2006, overdose mortality rates in rural and urban counties were similar. In 2007 through 2015, overdose mortality rates were higher in rural counties than in urban counties. But in 2016 and 2017, urban counties once again had higher rates of drug overdose fatalities.While urban counties had higher rates of overdose deaths involving heroin, cocaine and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl in 2017, rural counties had higher rates of overdose deaths involving prescription opioids such as morphine, codeine, hydrocodone and oxycodone.The overdose death rate related to stimulants such as methamphetamine and amphetamines was 4 per 100,000 in rural counties, higher than the rate of 3.1 per 100,000 in urban counties.In 2017, There were 5.2 heroin-related overdose deaths for every 100,000 people in urban counties, whereas rural counties had a rate of 2.9 heroin-related fatalities for every 100,000 people.In urban counties, the rate of overdose deaths from synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, fentanyl analogs and tramadol was 9.3 per 100,000; and in rural counties that rate was 7 per 100,000. Death rates involving cocaine were also higher in urban counties, with a rate of 4.6 per 100,000, compared to 2.4 per 100,000 in rural counties.But, Dr. Caleb Alexander, co-director of the Center for Drug Safety and Effectiveness at Johns Hopkins, said it was important to not make too much of the distinction between rural and urban areas. "It's important not to lose the forest from the trees here," he wrote in an email to CNN. "Overall the trends and rates are much more similar than they are different between these communities."Alexander noted that the increased overdose rate in urban areas "is attributable to the greater use of heroin and illicit fentanyl in these settings.""The data demonstrate continued increases in mortality through 2017, and they underscore that the epidemic has had a profound impact in rural and urban areas alike," he added.Drug overdose deaths in the United States declined 5.1% in 2018, according to preliminary data released in July by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. Researchers estimate there were 68,557 drug overdose deaths in 2018, and 47,590 involved opioids. 2702

ALBANY, N.Y. -- In New York’s capital region, just 20 minutes north of the state capital building, is Tech Valley Office Interiors and Rod Dion who has owned the small business for 15 years.“It’s been quite a ride,” said Dion. “We opened up, we were very successful our first three years, then the great recession hit and we had four or five years we prefer not to look back at and ever since then, it has been a happily steady rise again.” Like many small businesses in America, Tech Valley has enjoyed growth in this economy. However, with the upside has come a downside of a tight labor market.“Before, I would just put an ad up and I would have 50 resumes and have a person within a day or two,” Dion explained. “Now, I can go 30 days and I will get two or three resumes and they are not even qualified for the position.”Tech Valley is a part of the 88 percent of small businesses across the country that report struggling to hire qualified workers in a labor market where there are more available jobs than people looking for work. The Department of Labor and Statistics estimates there are 6.4 million jobs available but only 5.89 million people seeking work. Employees have an advantage and are forcing all employers to get competitive to actually hire good talent.Tech Valley is in that position currently, trying to hire at least two full-time positions. “We are paying a lot more than we did in the past,” said Dion. “We are probably paying about ,000 more in starting salary more, per employee, than we were 10 years ago.”Like most small businesses, Tech Valley cannot afford more significant salary increases. However, it still has to compete for new talent in this labor market and compete to keep its current staff, so it’s begun helping employees pay off their college debt. Student loan repayment is a benefit few employers offer. It can be costly, but ultimately less expensive than what it would cost the company to lose an employee or not be able to grow its staff.“The only way a business like mine is going to grow is to grow my staff, so if I can’t grow my staff, we are not going to grow as a whole,” said Dion.Stunted growth in any business could eventually lead to less profits, which would be an even bigger problem.“It is very difficult right now there is more of a strain going on than many people realize, but in many ways there have been positives out of it,” Dion explained. “Salaries have gone up and businesses understand what they have to do to respond to their needs.” 2518
