The Upper Peninsula has historically relied on three industries: copper and iron mining, lumber and paper products, and tourism. I guess if you go back far enough one could make the argument that fur trading was the fourth major industry.
It would be a very pleasant place to live though. I check for openings in my field in Marquette and Houghton/Hancock once a week. I'd love nothing more than to get out of South-East Michigan and head up north.
