Abstract: Employment growth in manufacturing varies according to city size in the United States. Industrial job growth in the largest metro areas and nonmetro areas has deviated from the patterns set forth in some recent studies. Large metro areas (more than 800,000 people) have failed to generate a favorable distribution of fast-growth industries to stimulate employment growth. Also contrary to expectations, nonmetro areas have boasted a favorable distribution of fast-growth industries as well as an overall increase of fast- and slow-growth industries. Nonmetro areas appear to be taking on some of the functions of the large metro areas.
