INCOME GAP WIDENS AS AMERICAN FACTORIES SHUT DOWN [Excerpts] 

The downfall of manufacturing in the U.S. has done more than displace workers and leave communities searching for ways to rebuild devastated economies. 

In Reading and other American factory towns, manufacturing's decline is a key factor in the widening income gap between the rich and everyone else 

Nationally, manufacturing declines accounted for 40 percent of the increase in joblessness from 2000-2011, according to labor economist Erik Hurst. 

For high-income college graduates, "It doesn't look like there was a recession," said Hurst, of the University of Chicago. 

"For lower-skilled (manufacturing) workers, the recession comes along, you get a big decline in employment, and it hasn't rebounded at all."

WORKING-CLASS WHITES LOSE VOTING DOMINANCE IN OHIO [Excerpts] 

Nationwide, working-class whites —-defined as those ages 18 to 64, with less than a bachelor's degree—- are more likely to be socially conservative, less optimistic about their futures and skeptical of big government. 

But in Ohio, the group has been much more politically divided: encompassing deeply religious, GOP-leaning conservatives in rural areas as well as unionized blue-collar Democrats in cities. 

About 4.1 million, or 48 percent, of eligible voters in Ohio are working-class whites, according to unpublished 2014 census data. 

That's down from 50.5 percent in November 2012.  As recently as 1980, that number was 66 percent.
