In yet another sign of the turnaround in the state's economy, Detroit and Grand Rapids rank among the 20 strongest-performing metropolitan areas in the country, according to a report being released today from the Brookings Institution.
The Washington, D.C.-based think tank examined how the nation's 100 largest metro areas fared since their recoveries began, using changes in employment, unemployment rates, gross metropolitan product and housing prices to determine the rankings

Gotta love stats, Grand Rapids was named by newsweek as one of America's ten dying cities. Now it appears that Grand Rapids and Detroit are two of the strongest economically performing regions in the country. Great news for the state of Michigan our two largest cities are near the top of the pack on a list about GOOD economic news!
