  1. Work In the 21st Century Workers are again pushed and pulled to new jobs in new places…

  2. Why do jobs leave Michigan? • Goods (like automobiles) are being produced elsewhere. • These goods are selling well in the United States and worldwide.

  3. Why produce elsewhere? • Avoid rules about work, set by unions • Avoid taxes and rules about work and pollution, set by the government • Want people around the world to buy cars • Don’t want to ship cars around the world • And want people to have jobs so they can buy cars • So move factories closer to these new markets

  4. Globalization Global competition • For products: Americans import better or cheaper products from other countries • For jobs: Outsourcing of jobs to countries where work rules are more flexible & labor is cheaper Advertisement for the 1986 Nissan Stanza Wagon, "Nissan Innovation Strikes Again" From the Collections of The Henry Ford, ID# THF73709
