Michigan\'s advanced manufacturing sector growing, study shows

More than 381,000 people at 11,000 Michigan firms are working in high-tech, highly productive advanced manufacturing jobs - nearly two-thirds of the state's manufacturing base, according to a new University Research Corridor (URC) study. In their 2009 fiscal year, URC institutions Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University invested more than $101.9 million in advanced manufacturing R&D and had active research awards of more than $425 million. The study was released Wednesday as part of a three-campus URC bus tour showcasing the proximity between the three partners and research strength of Michigan's world-class research intensive universities.
