In this region the jobs are mainly manufacturing-based. food and beverage to tractors and other farm equipment, and from municipal and inter-urban buses to specialty steel products, electrical components, aerospace components, chemicals, plastics, furniture and much more. Some of these manufacturing-based jobs include plastics and rubber products manufacturing, fabricated metal manufacturing and food manufacturing.

Sustainable Or Not
I don't think these activities are sustainable, because since there's so much exchanging and manufacturing within the city, that would mean that lots of non-renewable resources (fossil fuels) and lots of natural resources would be used for products. The transportation it has to go through uses lots of fossil fuels as well, which makes it non-sustainable activities as it is using the resources at a fast rate without thinking about the future consequences. |
