Deindustrialisation - 10 US Industries in Jeopardy

Jim Riley

14th December 2009

A fascinating analysis from Business Insider highlights 10 major industries that have been a core part of the US economy which seem to be in terminal decline. A great resource to begin a lesson looking at issues of business costs, competitiveness and the impact of globalisation on manufacturing.

It would be interesting for students to prepare a similar list of UK industries which might suffer a similar fate (there must be some crossover)
