DETROIT (AP) -- A new report says Michigan has lost 315,200 manufacturing jobs during the last eight years -- a 35.5 percent reduction that represents the biggest percentage decline in the nation. The American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition report released Friday says Michigan's total job loss of 489,900 during the same time period is more than three times worse than during the oil-induced Rust Belt downturn of 1974-82. Flint, Ann Arbor, Saginaw and the Detroit-Livonia metropolitan area suffered the biggest percentage declines in manufacturing job losses. The worst total job losses have occurred in Detroit-Livonia, Flint, Jackson and Saginaw. The Detroit Free Press says the coalition focused on Michigan, an election battleground state that's been heavily dependent on manufacturing jobs.
