Do Industrial Cities have the Highest Rates of Urban Unemployment?
This paper considers the widely held, but still untested, assumption that deindustrialised and deindustrialising cities have the highest rates of urban unemployment today. Comparison is made between the unemployment rates for the largest Australian cities devoted significantly to manufacturing – Geelong, Newcastle, and Wollongong – and the rates for the other nine major Australian cities. What is found is that the industrial cities did not have the highest rates of unemployment at any of the four censuses under examination(1971, 1976, 1981, 1986). The highest rates were in tourist cities, centres antithetical to industrial cities because they exist for consumption rather than for production (as is the case with the industrial cities).
