Economy in the Northeast

The northeast's economy ran very poorly before World War II. Even if you were a skilled worker there would almost always be difficult situations where you had a hard time finding a job. To make up for that, people built Factories that specialized in things like Microelectronics, computers, and biotechnology. If you were poor and had to pay taxes you would most likely end up working long hours at an assembly line. Looking at the difference of taxes and payments from then and now, then you would see that they have gone down rather then up. Even though the northeast had some money problems, it still attracts workers around the world.
