GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES OF DEINDUSTRIALIZATION IN THE USA IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY
Abstract
Specific features of the de-industrialization in the US economy since the second half of the 20th century are discussed, and the main tendencies of spatial shifts in the manufacturing are described. Particular attention is paid to the changes inside the metropolitan statistical areas. The impact of changes in the structure of economy on the social welfare of deindustrializing districts and cities is also analyzed. Along with deindustrialization in the central city there is an increase in the manufacturing sector employment in suburban areas. The agglomerations, especially the largest ones in size and population, concentrate the greater part of employment in industry and almost all workers in high-tech industries, reflecting the advantages of the metropolitan statistical areas for industry as a whole and particularly for the high-tech companies.
