The economy of metropolitan Detroit, Michigan is a key pillar of the economy of the United States. Its nine county area has a population of 5.4 million, a workforce of 2.8 million, and about 240,000 businesses. About 80,000 people work in downtown Detroit. Metro Detroit has propelled Michigan's national ranking in emerging technology fields such as life sciences, information technology, and advanced manufacturing; Michigan ranks fourth nationally in high tech employment with 568,000 high tech workers, which includes 70,000 in the automotive industry. Michigan typically ranks second or third in overall Research & Development (R&D) expenditures in the United States. Metro Detroit is an important source of engineering job opportunities. Detroit is known as the automobile capital of the world. The domestic auto industry, primarily headquartered in Metro Detroit, accounts directly and indirectly for one of every ten jobs in the United States.
In March 2007, metropolitan Detroit's unemployment rate was 6.5 percent. Economic issues include the City of Detroit's unemployment rate which was 14.2 percent at the end of 2005. The suburbs have low unemployment; however, the auto industry's economic cycles affect the entire metropolitan area. An extensive freeway system, begun in the 1950s and 1960s, facilitates commuting with the city's unemployment partly due to white flight. Beginning in the 1950s and increasing in the 1970s and '80s, the City of Detroit lost much of its tax base to the suburbs. This trend has begun to change through the 2000s, with increased revitalization and urban development in Detroit's downtown.
