Kansas City, Missouri is located at the intersection of the Kansas and Missouri rivers. It is the biggest city in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area; the most crowded city in Missouri, the seventh biggest city in the Midwest, and the 39th most crowded city in America. Additionally, the location of the city makes it an ideal transportation hub and the most geo-focal market in the country, since three interstate highways serve it. Kansas City has a diverse economy including health care, telecommunications, legal services, manufacturing, governmental services, trade, and financial services. The locale gives access to more than a million employments in more than seven hundred occupations. Key employers in the region include the manufacturing sector taking up 10% of the employment opportunities, the services sector at 48% and the wholesale and retail sector at 14%.

In this chapter, the author highlights the failing economy of Northeast Ohio. After the decline of the steel industry, the region lost tens of thousand of jobs and thousands of citizens moved out as a result. Although the region saw a slight boost in their economic growth, they were comparably slow to many other metropolitan areas in the country.

With manufacturing moving overseas in the past several decades and America currently having a trade deficit it would be difficult for Hartford to redevelop itself as one of the most important manufacturing cities in America. On the contrary, Hartford can use its past to place itself as one of the most important manufacturing cities in America. For instance, it can argue the fact that Colt came up with the idea of mass production and started running his business out of Hartford, that it was the city of Hartford who was the first to place itself as an industrial city in America. As the United States also faces challenges in regaining some of its success in the past back in manufacturing, it must end the habit of companies shipping all of the manufacturing jobs overseas and restore the

Detroit, Michigan once stood as the epitome of industrial American cities. In the mid 1990s Detroit had the highest income per capita and a booming automotive industry. During prohibition in the 1920s Detroit served as a major gateway for the importation of alcohol from Canada, whereby it thrived from this lucrative business. Also, around this same time the automotive industry was growing at a pace where jobs were begging to be filled, and the population of Detroit rose to nearly 2,000,000. There was a point in time where many other major U.S. cities envied Detroit and were jealous of its ever growing economy and infrastructure. At this time it seemed as though nothing would stop the economic growth of the Motor City. Sadly, these are

Advanced Manufacturing is a multitude of different things that all fall under the same name. Advanced Manufacturing is using things such as automation, computation, software, sensors, and networks to manufacture products new and old. The advanced manufacturing today is much more than the image of assembly lines and forklifts, with most of the factories today being mostly automated. With most the factories having machines there need to be people who can operate, maintain, and repair the machines.

Today’s economy is more than a local practice; our economy encompasses a global scale of production and efficiency. All industries in the world rely on each other, especially in the economy of the United States. The industrial

The lack of job growth can have a tremendous effect on any city. The problem with the city of El Paso is that they aren 't confident enough to believe that the city can handle big industries such as high- tech companies. The city is bringing in more and more retail jobs each year, along with call centers and other service sectors. El Paso has talent and that talent is leaving due to the lack of economic growth. They follow bigger industries in other cities and leave the borderland behind. College graduates in El Paso are unemployed for a long period of time, and decide to look for better opportunities in other successful cities. A few questions we need to ask ourselves are: How can bigger industries help improve the local economic climate,

It has been nine years since the Financial Crash of 2008, yet some cities are still in the same recession. High growth cities, like Los Angeles and New York City are creating economic struggles in decaying industrial towns (Sparshott, 2017). How are these correlated? It is human nature to want to be where successful people are. Those in small decaying towns see the citizens of Los Angeles prospering, consequently, people who are capable will move to these high growth cities and leave behind their hometowns. The population left behind are commonly unemployed or possess low-income jobs. Some U.S. cities are still suffering from the recession of 2008 due to low government revenue from people flocking to cities with more opportunities and

Contribution of the Computer and Electronic Products Industry to State-Level Manufacturing Growth The nationwide pattern of strong manufacturing output growth in combination with a

The book advised analyzing employment data with a location quotient, a ratio of industries represented locally to one of a reference economy. This is a valuable equation for determining industry growth at a fixed period. When the OCOG chose target industries for Miami, the specialized index would have assisted analysts in predicting future economic changes and which sectors will provide the most employment opportunities across all skill and income levels. As discussed in the Cincinnati, Ohio Cluster Case study, after the LQ, analysts would determine the occupational LQ to assess the skill base of the current workforce. Measuring job growth rates by sector and comparison with national trends would predict areas with healthy economies and those expected to grow. Furthermore, cluster identification uses input/output analysis and local and national reports to unmask growing industries and relate dependency or competitiveness between businesses while identifying industries statistically inclined to grow.
