Now You Have It
Michigan is officially one of the top five States that have the worst jobless rating! Job? What job, you may ask? During this year alone, my neighborhood had five abandon homes overnight. No one knows what have happened to them! Vanished! Disappeared!
The houses sat there for months before the bank finally resale them to people who could afford them, and these people came in, fix the house, and rent them out. On our street, we have more renters than home owners!
As far as job goes, every time you turn around, you will hear that someone has just lost their job! Frantic! Worry! A young man who lives next door to me, has just lost his job with Chrysler. It hits very close to home for comfort.

According to the Associated Press: “State with worst jobless rates share root causes“, Michigan along with Rhode Island, California, South Carolina, and Oregon have the highest unemployment rates. These five States suffered in multiple areas from collapsed housing to declined manufacturing.
Michigan’s auto industries are in the spot light for the most troublesome businesses. Where do people go to get job? My young neighbor may have to move out of State to find his employment. Relocation seems to be the only choice left for many people.
So now you have it! How do you deal with the recession? Are you worried? Do you have any plan for the future if you happen to lose your job?
For me, nothing is different! I have been living in the “recession” all my life. I have learned to live with much less than other people, and I also learn to make use of things that I have. It seems to work so far!
