Report Finds Last 5 Years Brutal for Great Lakes States

A study to be released today by the Brookings Institution finds that the seven Great Lakes states have lost 1.1 million factory jobs since 2000 - the largest number of jobs to vanish so quickly from any U.S. sector since at least 1939. The report titled "Bearing the Brunt: Manufacturing Job Loss in the Great Lakes Region" found that 1/4 of Michigan factory workers lost a job between 2000 and 2005.
