Summary This three-day series examines the "trend of factory closings" through Ohio and Michigan starting as far back as 2000. Reporter Joe Vardon found factory closings accounted for more than 20,000 jobs lost throughout Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Much of the work has been shipped to other states or overseas. Vardon finds these closings to be as much "a cause as they are an effect" in the recession that has ravaged the U.S.
