Declining manufacturing employment in the New York-New Jersey region: 1969-99

Current Issues in Economics and Finance, 2001, issue Jan

Abstract: Between 1969 and 1999, the New York-New Jersey region experienced a steeper drop in manufacturing employment than any other area of the United States. Much of the unusually sharp job decline can be attributed to the geographic dispersion of manufacturing_that is, the gradual movement of manufacturing activity from the more urbanized and industry-intensive states of the Northeast to the less industrially developed states of the South and West.
