Tractor Supply CEO Hal Lawton told CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Thursday that a substantial number of Americans are moving out of cities, and many are headed to rural areas.
“Rural America is alive and well, and growing, and really leading in many ways in this country,” Lawton said, adding the population outflows spiked during the pandemic years but do persist.
“They’ve continued, albeit to a lesser absolute number, but net we’re still seeing significant migration out of urban America, and most of that migration, or a lot of it, is going into rural America,” Lawton said.
