The hard road for Michigan
This is from Yahoo...
"In August, Hawaii posted the lowest unemployment rate (2.8 %), followed by South Dakota, Utah, and Virginia (3.2% each), then Florida, Nebraska, Idaho, and Wyoming (3.3% each). Michigan and Mississippi suffered the highest unemployment rates, at 7.1% each. (The unemployment rate is defined as the "percentage of employable people actively seeking work, out of the total number of employable people.")
Employment opportunities by state might also be judged by job postings per capita. By this measure, California boasts three of the top five cities, led by San Jose in the top spot. "
...So why did I just come from the best state, and two of the best cities in the country and continue my job hunt in Michigan, which is tied for dead last in unemployment rate with a state that had its most metropolitan city destroyed by Katrina recently? Three reasons...
1. Family and friends
2. Detroit Tigers
3. Google has a new office here. Wish me luck!

Well, the Tiger's lost, it didn't work out exactly with Google, but I did get to see a lot of my family. Thanks for the support!
