在20世紀(jì)中期底特律繁榮的鼎盛時(shí)期，生產(chǎn)帕卡德汽車的這個(gè)廠子員工多達(dá)40000人。在二十世紀(jì)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(jī)會(huì)的前景吸引了像田納西州喬治麥克格雷格這樣的當(dāng)?shù)厝恕?/p>
現(xiàn)在，他是底特律“汽車工人聯(lián)合會(huì)底特律22分會(huì)”的主席。 “我剛到這時(shí)，在汽車廠里，他們求著人們來(lái)。每小時(shí)(37) 工費(fèi)大概有3.25美元，”他回憶道。但是當(dāng)對(duì)美國(guó)汽車的(38) 需求降低而對(duì)外國(guó)汽車的興趣提高時(shí)，汽車工業(yè)停止了乞求。
帕卡德這個(gè)品牌現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)(39) 銷聲匿跡了，這個(gè)一度規(guī)模巨大的廠子的轟鳴聲也不復(fù)存在。破敗的大樓是這個(gè)全球最大的空置工業(yè)園區(qū)的一部分。它們(40) 代表了底特律的繁榮過(guò)往。 “這里曾有十幾家汽車廠，你知道它們(41) 雇主很多。世易時(shí)移，現(xiàn)在幾乎都關(guān)門了，只剩下一家了。”思科森說(shuō)。
密歇根州立大學(xué)的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家埃里克思科森說(shuō)：雖然通用汽車公司(42) 吹噓它是底特律市區(qū)最顯眼的建筑，但汽車工業(yè)在這座城市的經(jīng)濟(jì)中起的作用已經(jīng)小了很多。 “實(shí)際上，醫(yī)療才是這個(gè)城市最大的雇主，”他說(shuō)。
在二十世紀(jì)五十年代，底特律有約30萬(wàn)個(gè)汽車相關(guān)工作， (43) 人口大約有180萬(wàn)。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(wàn)個(gè)工作崗位，總?cè)丝谝矂倓傔^(guò)70萬(wàn)而已。“我們有三家賭場(chǎng)和兩家汽車廠，”麥克格雷格解釋道： “我們?yōu)榱双@得工作機(jī)會(huì)從(44) 生產(chǎn)型崗位轉(zhuǎn)到了彩頭型崗位。”麥克格雷格的“汽車工人聯(lián)合會(huì)底特律22分會(huì)” (45) 代表著還在通用汽車位于漢姆特拉姆克的廠子中堅(jiān)守崗位的工人們。
