Very interesting news there, thank you for posting it here. I was raised in and near Flint Michigan and moved away due to the bad economy around 1998. Now the economy is as bad here as it used to be up there. I see the number of jobs you posted for Flint and I think to myself how the system works.... The people that have worked for GM (in any city) the longest will be offered the jobs in Flint, so likely many people will be moving to a citing with an unemployment rate of something like 30% (Now that's what I THINK my uncle said it was, but there is also a number for the COUNTY which Flint is in which has an extremely high # too)- If I'm not mistaken the unemployment for either Flint OR Genesee County - either one of them had a number around 39% unemployment!! Now if that is true, and I got such numbers from my Uncle that is just now moving out of Flint due to the high crime rate now present on his street, just imagine all of the people that do not collect unemployment yet still have no job. Wow, that's one place I am glad I moved away from. No offense to the members up there, and if it makes anyone feel better our numbers are around 12% and climbing in Kentucky- it used to be a great place to work, but not now.
All of that money it's a pity they would not need more workers. Oh well, I guess that is just the road we are on and their is no stopping it.
