Excerpt from Detroit as the People See It: A Survey of Attitudes in an Industrial City The facts have to do with the feelings and attitudes of Detroit people toward their city. These facts are subjective and for proper interpretation must be viewed in the light of many other facts that are not included in the study. The other facts refer to objective conditions in Detroit - ih formation concerning incomes and standards of living, jobs, education, health, social and political behavior, and many more such matters that show how the people of the city are faring. But knowledge regarding these objective conditions is not enough. Important evidence comes also from people's reports of their personal feelings. It is this latter type of knowl edge with which this study is concerned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unskilled workers once flocked to Detroit, attracted by manufacturing jobs paying union wages, but the passing of Detroit's manufacturing heyday has left many of those workers stranded. Manufacturing continues to employ high-skilled workers, and new work can be found in suburban service jobs, but the urban plants that used to employ legions of unskilled men are a thing of the past. The authors explain why white auto workers adjusted to these new conditions more easily than blacks. Taking advantage of better access to education and suburban home loans, white men migrated into skilled jobs on the city's outskirts, while blacks faced the twin barriers of higher skill demands and hostile suburban neighborhoods. Some blacks have prospered despite this racial divide: a black elite has emerged, and the shift in the city toward municipal and service jobs has allowed black women to approach parity of earnings with white women. But Detroit remains polarized racially, economically, and geographically to a degree seen in few other American cities. A Volume in the Multi-City Study of Urban Inequality
