AP US History
Unit 9 – Entering Into the 21st Century, 1980–Present
Topic 9.4
What was the effect of transitioning into a post-industrial economy on industrial cities in the midwest like Pittsburgh, Toledo, Detroit, and Gary?
The transition led to an increase in factory operations and more employment opportunities.
This transition made these cities become technology hubs attracting digital companies.
These cities became part of the new Rust Belt due to factories closing and a decrease in unionized, blue-collar jobs.
There was no significant impact on these cities as they were able to successfully adapt.
