在20世紀中期底特律繁榮的鼎盛時期，生產帕卡德汽車的這個廠子員工多達40000人。在二十世紀六十年代，在這座城市周圍類似的(36) 廠子中，這樣有豐厚收入和諸多工作機會的前景吸引了像田納西州喬治麥克格雷格這樣的當地人。
現在，他是底特律“汽車工人聯合會底特律22分會”的主席。 “我剛到這時，在汽車廠裏，他們求着人們來。每小時(37) 工費大概有3.25美元，”他回憶道。但是當對美國汽車的(38) 需求降低而對外國汽車的`興趣提高時，汽車工業停止了乞求。
帕卡德這個品牌現在已經(39) 銷聲匿跡了，這個一度規模巨大的廠子的轟鳴聲也不復存在。破敗的大樓是這個全球最大的空置工業園區的一部分。它們(40) 代表了底特律的繁榮過往。 “這裏曾有十幾家汽車廠，你知道它們(41) 僱主很多。世易時移，現在幾乎都關門了，只剩下一家了。”思科森說。
密歇根州立大學的經濟學家埃裏克思科森說：雖然通用汽車公司(42) 吹噓它是底特律市區最顯眼的建築，但汽車工業在這座城市的經濟中起的作用已經小了很多。 “實際上，醫療纔是這個城市最大的僱主，”他說。
在二十世紀五十年代，底特律有約30萬個汽車相關工作， (43) 人口大約有180萬。而如今，克萊斯勒和通用汽車公司的廠子總共能提供不到2.7萬個工作崗位，總人口也剛剛過70萬而已。“我們有三家賭場和兩家汽車廠，”麥克格雷格解釋道： “我們爲了獲得工作機會從(44) 生產型崗位轉到了彩頭型崗位。”麥克格雷格的“汽車工人聯合會底特律22分會” (45) 代表着還在通用汽車位於漢姆特拉姆克的廠子中堅守崗位的工人們。
