- For all states except Michigan, jobs must be in specific industries and in a coastal county to be considered connected to the Great Lakes. In Michigan, jobs in a few sectors are connected to the Great Lakes even if they are located in inland counties, specifically within mining, manufacturing, science and engineering. Michigan became a manufacturing hub because of its access to the Great Lakes and, unlike other states, the Great Lakes remain Michigan’s primary water transportation route for iron ore, coal, stone, grain and heavy machinery.

- This analysis is based on the most recent annual estimates (2009) for county employment from the Bureau of Labor Statics' Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages and Occupational Employment Statistics programs. We reviewed over 1,000 industry categories and identified 67 that could be connected to the Great Lakes. Some of the industries included and excluded within a sector are listed to the right.

- Historically, industries developed in areas with abundant natural resources and inexpensive transportation, like the Great Lakes. However in the new economy, people and businesses are more mobile and they are locating in areas with a high quality of life, attractive urban areas and abundant recreational opportunities. Water is huge draw for people –coastal trails, clean beaches and waterfront businesses add tremendous value to both metropolitan and semi-rural areas. Unless we protect and restore our best environmental asset –the Great Lakes –we will not be able to retain and attract strong new businesses and great human resources.
