Manufacturing and the Future of the Industrial State: A Michigan Case Study

Monday, September 20, 2004

During the recent past, heavy loss of manufacturing jobs has created considerable economic upheaval in several states, particularly the industrial heartland of the country where manufacturing represents more of a state's private payrolls than the national average. Michigan, alone, lost 18 percent of its manufacturing-related jobs from 2000 to 2003, a staggering 163,000 mostly high-wage jobs. Still, the manufacturing sector comprises 17 percent of the total jobs in the Great Lakes state.

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

Public universities in most states compete with other state priorities for appropriations each year or two-year budget cycle.
