OK, I give up...UNCLE!
The job market in Detroit , Michigan is dismal at best. Numerous newspaper articles in the Oakland Press and the Detroit Free Press allude to a 3-4 year timeline for any recovery.
HR friends say I am competing against 300 - 400 people for every job! That's rediculous.
I give up, and plan to move within a week to Colorado Springs, Colorado (369,000), a state with at least 2% better unemployment and which I have lived over 15 years.
It can't be worse than a place that I have lived for over 7 years. In that time the unemployment went from 3.7% to the current 6.7%. At this point even Temp Agencies like Manpower aren't taking applications..........That's really bad.
I really like Michigan too..........Maybe will come back if things improve or I win Lotto. Meanwhile I need a job............so it's "Go West Young Man...and Old Geezers Too!"
"Invite your enemies to dine on a cup of malice and a cold plate of revenge!"
