Article Abstract:

The East Midlands region, England, has been hit by the closure of coal mines in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The two counties offer flexible labor, and also have a strong small business sector. There has been an underlying recovery in the economies of the two counties if the impact of coal mine closures is excluded, according to Price Waterhouse in a survey of the region. The textile industry is a major employer, though it faces competition from Far Eastern firms.
