While scanning the Detroit News online this morning, I found this article. Not exactly what I would call 'good' news! Here's an excerpt:
Few local firms plan new hires
... finds 10 percent of southeast Michigan companies expect to add to their payrolls in the coming months, while 5 percent say they plan to cut jobs.
That compares with 11 percent of firms saying they would be hiring at this time last year, while 12 percent said they'd cut jobs.
...Overall, the region still lags the country in new job creation.
...Michigan's unemployment rate jumped to 7.2 percent in April, widening the stubborn gap between the state and the national unemployment rate of 4.7 percent. That chasm of job creation was on view last month in Southfield when 2,000 prospective employees showed up for 400 openings at a Comcast job fair.
