It's why we picked up and left in the late 70's. Factory jobs were gone do to lifting restrictions on Japan and China. Not only auto factories but all types of industrial manufacturing. I can remember bumper stickers that said
Will the last person to leave Detroit, please turn off the lights!
Combine this with the grain embargo put on Russia by Carter, and the state went into a tail spin. Not sure how things have recovered since most all of my family left or has since died.
