it's official now. Everyone in Michigan has to move out of the country if they want a job.

this really troubles me. We already lost Frigidaire and now this.

don't we (michigan) have the highest unemployment in the country?

with GM's plan to lay off 25,000 engineering jobs over 3 years, it isn't looking good for the great lake state.

I think we're 3rd in the country right now in unemployment. I just moved back last August from GA, got a job right away, my wife's just started her 3rd job since we've moved back (they've all been for better pay/work). There are plenty of jobs here, I'm thinking we just have too many unskilled laborers and yes, those jobs are getting few and far between.

Just get rid of Michigan and its horrible football team. Problem solved. Screw the blue, Go Bucks 05.

I have a family member who works at Brunswick. He has been there for a long time. 20+ years iirc. He mentioned they are looking to keep about 25 people and right now he figures he is about #30 in the line.

Thus, the SBT(Single Business Tax) gives Michigan the highest effective tax rate on corporate income of any state in the nation?giving them the lowest rated corporate tax system in the Index.

My brother goes there and my moms entire side of the family graduated there. I was also born in Columbus and will hopefully end up going to grad school there. 37-21.

So you didn't go there?

Anyways, there are a few job openings at my company. Takata has a bunch of openings. too. There aren't very many jobs available for factory workers, though.

But don't be naive and think that your job is safe. I'm sure there's a Mexican/Indian/Chinese person that's willing to do your job for less, also.

Don't even think that they're not capable of doing highly skilled work, because they can.
