I can see a little of both sides here. I think when Grand Rapids gets their "Medical mile" going full swing there will be a ton of healthcare jobs there as well as outlaying areas that lose some people to GR, but those jobs are not quite here yet. In a couple of years I think we will be starving for people who can fill the positions that are open in all fields in healthcare, just not right now.

Most sites that are financially geared use Michigan as a spectacle...we make the "top list of something horrible" often, but rarely does media shine light here.

Hmm good ol' MI I would say that right now the jobs are very scarce unless of course you have a Bachelor's degree with 5-10 yrs previous experience. It's a shame I will have to most likely move after I graduate, struggling is something crucial especially when you have kids. This is an industrialized state and the big three has definitely failed don't know how GM is going to get out of this, all the three are our customers. Shame on them for giving paying out the big-wgis the first time instead of using it for what is was intended to be used on.

i found that most of michigan is behind other major area's in the course of business,take for instance the bio-science thing,it's a good thing,but they treat i as a new thing in this country,california as been dealing with that stuff for years and from my aspect,what i see in the job arena when i am out,they use tactics that are completely outdated.
