THE RISE AND FALL OF THE RUST BELT

Running through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, ending in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, the Rust Belt was once the hub of the American industrial revolution and innovation, everything from steel and motor vehicles to typewriters and razor blades that made the US an economic powerhouse.

In the 1970s, it fell into decline. Cities such as Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Buffalo and Milwaukee enjoyed the boom times and then felt the impact of the fall as competition from abroad, economic crises and automation all took their toll.

This two part series is a telling story in an early 21st century world where once again innovation, disruption and displacement are forces across the planet.

What the industry says about US

Inspiration Network International (INI), USA and UK

It has been fantastic working with Global Listings. They have been helpful and responsive – they have provided all the information requested. As we were new to the market, we had lots of questions. They were able to smooth things out and help us where we needed it. The execution of our business relationship has been seamless.

Tristar Products, UK

As a company, we monitor our sales on daily basis and as such we potentially have to change schedules at a moment’s notice. When working with Global listings this is made easy. Their can-do attitude means we are not hindered by bureaucracy or rigid SLAs – we make the change and they do all the hard work... great service!
