The Uneven Depression: Michigan's Economic Development at the City and Metropolitan Level (1960–2020)
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The article is focused on the inner economic and geographic differences in the state of Michigan that emerged as its core automotive industry weakened from the late 1950s to the present. The study is based on data on the population of cities and the GDP of metropolitan statistical areas. Chronologically, the study is divided into three periods (1960–1970s, 1980–1990s, and 2000–2010s) that differed markedly in the overall dynamics of Michigan's economic development. It is shown that pronounced growth was usually observed only in those centers whose economies were not based on traditional automobile production.
