A forecast by Dr. Paul A. Herbert of the Michigan Economic Development Department predicts a higher overall 1962 economy than 1960 and 1961 with regional gains. Northern Lower Peninsula sees a small employment rise in service and wood-using sectors while unemployment stays higher than the national average. The Upper Peninsula lags a bit, Southwestern Lower Michigan grows steadily, and Southeastern Michigan, led by Detroit, shows notable but cycle-driven gains with persistent unemployment.
