Abstract

Eleven Metropolitan Statistical Areas from across the Midwest and the nation were selected for a comparative and competitive analysis with the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman Metropolitan Statistical Area, based on the following criteria: size (total population and labor force); structure (traditional manufacturing industrial structure); unemployment (percent annual unemployment rate); and location (comparable Midwest Metropolitan Areas), including similar metropolitan areas outside the Midwest Rust belt.
