Not an overnight happening
Following World War II, the American economy experienced a long period of sustained economic growth, rising real wages, and low unemployment rates. The benefits of prosperity were widely shared among most of the poor, the middle class and the wealthy.  

Nationally the pace of rising unemployment in the suburbs, by December 2010, suburban unemployment trailed city unemployment by less than one percentage point (9.8 percent in cities and 8.9 percent in suburbs)–a much narrower margin than seen in previous recessions.   (Brookings Institute)
