Best Answer

Closure of steel plants in the 1970s caused many residents to be unemployed. Their departure caused the failure of retail and service businesses that had been dependent on steel workers. Another way of looking at it is to say lack of diversification caused the collapse. Youngstown had depended on a single industry -- steel.
