Grand Rapids-Wyoming among top cities recognized by Reuters for seven years of job growth

International news organization, Reuters, recently published an analysis of seven-year job growth in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) throughout the United States.

The city is one of only two areas in the "rust belt" to exhibit high job growth rates comparative to other top MSAs, alongside Detroit-Warren-Dearborn. Grand Rapids had a 0.73% share of new jobs from 2010-2017. The top 20 MSAs in the analysis represented nearly 40% of job growth in the nation.
