Michigan: The High-Technology Automotive State:
The state’s high-tech workforce is dramatically larger than previously reported by national rankings.

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced today the findings of a new study that demonstrates that the state’s high-tech workforce is dramatically larger than previously reported by national rankings. The study shows that the American Electronics Association (AEA) uses a narrow definition of high-tech in their annual ranking, "Cyberstates." The rankings are viewed as critical by the MEDC to changing the nation’s perception of Michigan as a high-tech center.
