Michigan jobless rate dips slightly to 15 percent


Michigan jobless rate dips slightly to 15 percent
"Michigan's unemployment rate edged down slightly to 15 percent in July.

The seasonally adjusted rate announced Wednesday on a state Web site is below the 15.2 percent jobless rate posted in June.

But Michigan is likely to keep the dubious honor of having the nation's highest rate.

Michigan has led the nation for 26 of the past 27 months."

Is this tiny drop in the unemployment rate proof of the success of the Jenny/Obama stimulus plan...... or is it the result of U-Hauls racing out of Michigan, taking our most employable residents to other states?

What do you think?
