Is that a realistic demographic possibility though? Just looking at Michigan, here are their biggest employment sectors:
Trade, Transportation + Utilities: 773K
Education and Health: 670K
Professional + Business Services: 664K
Government: 599K
Manufacturing: 598K
Those make up about 70% of the workforce and all except Trade, Transportation, + Utilities have seen growth in employment in the last 12 months. Are those all terrible jobs? I don't know, it's hard to say without more specifics but on the surface it looks like they're doing fairly well economically. Certainly better than Canada is.
