The Michigan Automotive Policy Survey

Full Description:

This report contains two sets of overall results. First, a human resources forecast is presented. Most of the results contained in this section either describe Michigan’s automotive labor economy or forecast expected changes in Michigan’s automotive labor market during 1998-1999. Expectations regarding changes in capital spending and capacity also are included in this section of the report. These various forecasts and estimates set the stage for the second section, which presents survey results on the other four policy areas described above as well as measurements of labor scarcity. This second section of the report includes a review of 33 policy questions from two survey questionnaires. These results are presented in a format similar to the Delphi Forecast series, a survey conducted by the OSAT since 1979.
