Our economy now, is very weak. Now we all hope that President Obama will do something about it. That’s why we elected him. But while we wait (which could be a very long wait) here are the statistics of unemployment rates in Michigan. First off, the job market for college grads in Michigan has dropped 40% in the past year. On top of that, hiring levels are predicted to drop 2% by 2010.The MSU study said companies looking for new hires include those in sectors such as e-commerce, agriculture production and food processing, environmental sciences, information systems, manufacturing, nonprofits, statistics, nursing, social work, multimedia and Web design. Now even though these companies are looking for new hires, especially in the agriculture field, they still are having a tough time hiring.

The big question now is “what should President Obama do, and what can us people do to help out and hopefully cure the unemployment rate and, ultimately, this tough economic time?”
