The Elkhart-Goshen, Indiana metro area ranks number two out of 240 for job growth in small-sized cities–those defined as having under 150,000 jobs—and ranks fourth of all 398 cities of all sizes surveyed. Bismarck, North Dakota topped both of the lists, according to rvbusiness.com. Ranking above Elkhart in the “all cities” category after Bismarck are San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., and San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City, Calif. Kyle Hannon, president and CEO of the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce, says, “Elkhart is more accustomed to leading the nation in jobs. Now that we are shrugging off the final remnants of the recession, our job growth is going to continue to be impressive.” The city is headquarters to at least two component suppliers of the manufactured housing industry, as MHProNews know—Drew Industries, Inc. and Patrick Industries—as well as recreational vehicle manufacturers and the RV/MH Hall of Fame Museum.##
