High Unemployment in Michigan

Michigan's economy sucks. Duh! The North American econmoy has shifted from a manufacturaing economy to an infomating economy. Similar shifts have happened in the past. When North America shifted from an agro-economy to manufacturing agriculture-rich areas suffered. Michigan has lead the last 100 years with cars. Building cars and the jobs they bring are history.

Regional economies that lead one economy seldom lead the next. Our (Michigan leaders) are myopic. History teaches these lessons and they can easily be learned. It is time to shift to information, anticipate bio-technology and nanotechnology now.

Michigan rode the car horse, but it is time to move on.
