Strengths
For the income, a lot of Lordstown inhabitants are able to work for GM. GM supplies the majority of the jobs in Lordstown with manufacturing leading the percentages at 44%. A lot of women in Lordstown work in retail in the community. Small hometown shops account for most of their employment there.
Weaknesses
Lordstown is so closely located to major highways that most of the population commutes to other cities to work at different jobs. Lordstown GM also just shut down the third shift there causing a large percentage of employees to lose their jobs. That makes unemployment rates higher for the Lordstown area.
