Michigan Unemployment Remains Highest In The Nation

Michigan’s unemployment rate remains the highest in the nation, despite a small dip in the jobless rate last month.

Official figure is 15 percent. When you factor in all of the people who have dropped off the rolls, we figure the percentage here in Michigan is closer to 25 percent, perhaps higher.

If you’re a low income worker, or have a background in manufacturing, then you’re pretty much screwed.
