Slowly Growing Economy! And Some Other Stuff! :)) - 8/14/2010
It may shock you, but before I've heard the highest unemployment rate of the nation was Michigan before, with 15.1 percent unemployment. That rate is now 13.2 percent, slowly growing economy. We finally rank second now, Nevada is now 1.0 percent above us, Nevada is horrible! But Michigan IS getting better, but I don't understand why people have to move away permanently. The scenery here is BEAUTIFUL, with tons of trees and hills and a wide variety of nature. Northern Lower Michigan is pretty suburban and VERY quiet. I camp near Luzerne, Michigan, and me and my family have a cabin in Canada Creek Ranch in Montmerency County. I live in Genessee County, Flushing to be exact. I know what your thinking: FLINT!
