Answer by Mark
That a lot of the region had ONE industry, or industries that were offshoots of that industry, and when that one goes (and in most places, it has), you get a lot of people out of work. There were other places like that (cities like Calgary and Seattle), but they learned from their mistakes and have pretty much diversified in the last 30 years.
