The U.P. for years has struggled through job losses tied to downturns in the manufacturing and mining industries. 
Luce County along Lake Superior in the eastern U.P. had a population loss of 19.5% from 2010 to 2020, while Ontonagon County along the lake in the northwest U.P. dropped 14.2% over that time, according to data released Thursday.
