An interesting article in the "commie anti-us" New York Times.

Take a look at the table in the link provided.

So it would appear the economy is not as solid as the shrub would love us to believe? Or is it just a case of the two tiered economy I have been reading about.

I would be curious to insight of the more economic oriented people.....

I was wondering when this forum would learn that every government likes to fudge the numbers.

I often wonder what the unemployment rate would be if we had European incarceration rates.

Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. Michigan's economy seems to be disconnected from the US economy, and during our transition from a secondary to a tertiary economy we'll be sucking regardless.
