Detroit and Flint

[emu steve]

There is virtually no difference in Detroit and Flint's relative fortunes over time [[which should be obvious given they have the same economic base).

If one were ever to recover than the other would likely recover too.

We shall see.

Seems hard to say but Detroit has a diversified employment base. Certainly much more than Flint.

Last time I checked beside common things like government, Detroit has Wayne State [[and other large universities), things like BC/BS, Quicken Loans, much, much more medical care [[e.g., VAMC and all of the other hospitals in Midtown), etc. etc.

Detroit has a very significant white collar employment base lot of it along Woodward from the River through New Center.

No way can one compare UofM Flint and Kettering to say WSU, UDM, Marygrove, etc. Wayne is a very large university.

How much white collar employment is there in Flint beside education and government? Anything else, white collar, which employs more than say 2,500 people?
