Good paying jobs that were accessible to people with high school degrees have mostly vanished, to be replaced with jobs that require at least some higher education. There's a big chunk of Michigan's population that is, for lack of a better term, "lost." It's the same story across the Rust Belt, but very pronounced here. Michigan also suffers heavily from brain drain.
