ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 3 (UPI) -- University of Michigan economists predict the state's labor market
will lose 310,700 jobs in 2009, a sharp increase over a previous prediction.

In November, predicted job losses numbered 108,000, the Detroit Free Press reported Friday.

Hope and Change sure is working good here in MI. Runs parallel with Jenny's promise of being 'Blown Away' in five years. We'll be competing with Cali for a bail-out soon. Vote smarter next time around, paleeez!

Did you really expect things to turn around in 4 months? If they do it will take several years and even that may not be long enough. Try to have some perspective. I know it's difficult but to have that high of an expectation can only lead to constant disappointment.

One has spent trillions for what again (unemployment is rising each month- along with a irresponsible list of questionable spending) and the other, who promised everyone in MI, that we would be 'Blown away' with her agenda, is still blaming the previous governor from seven years ago. That's fine leadership. From the article in the Washington Examiner...

The largest, not to mention best funded and most adequately staffed by rude bureaucrats, department for the state of Michigan has to be the "Michigan Department To Foster Anti-Business Climate And Worthless Regulation"

What Michigan needs to do is levy yet another tax on what businesses are left to fund unemployment.

People of Michigan got what they voted for and deserve.

And then there is the union heaven on earth which is Detroit.

It would have been a cheaper and a faster turn around to give ever American citizen, man, woman and child two million dollars each..

Tell the long time unemployed it is going to take years... That isn't what they heard Obama saying..

WHAT!!?? That would be 500,000,000,000,000...and you think we are borrowing money now

I don't recall him promising to have this solved in 5 months but I don't have the best memory either

Either way, he is a politician just like every other. They lie when they are campaigning and year after year people not only fall for it, but allow it to happen year after effin year. This is not the forum to talk about it but the 2 party system needs to end and soon.
