GRAND RAPIDS – Michigan’s economic axis is tilting west, which will likely create thousands of good-to-high-paying jobs in the Grand Rapids and Traverse City regions, as well as Ann Arbor, over the next decade, contends a Bridge magazine survey.
While metro Detroit is expected to add the largest number of jobs in Michigan, the highest rate of job growth will be in West Michigan, Northwest Lower Michigan and the Ann Arbor area, according to a Bridge study prepared by Public Sector Consultants in Lansing.
Combined, the three high-growth regions are forecast to add 116,507 jobs by 2023, compared with 71,409 new jobs in metro Detroit, which encompasses Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
