Yup, before that strike Kelsey-Hayes had 4 plants and almost 3,000 employees. A couple years after they were down to a few hundred.
If you add up all the employees in the well paying factories that were in and around Jackson it is far more than the entire population of the city!
Worked 3rd shift at Albion Malleable one summer.
