Detroit’s Unemployment Rate Is Nearly 50%

Officially, Detroit’s unemployment rate is just under 30 percent. But the city’s mayor and local leaders are suggesting a far more disturbing figure — the actual jobless rate, they say, is closer to 50 percent.

As many have noted, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which culls federal unemployment data, does not account for all of the jobless in its widely-quoted national unemployment figures. Among those omitted: part-time workers who are looking for full-time jobs and frustrated job seekers who abandon their job search altogether.

See the ‘car oppinions” thread and you will get a glimpse of the problem. Americans do not support each other’s jobs or can’t seem to understand a connection between the other guy’s job and thier job. There is just too little support for American manufacturing (real jobs).

I’ve posted before of the many, many automotive jobs lost recently right here in SoCal.

Nobody cares.

No, I don’t feel the need to support the employment of people who are tanking their employers with overly large guaranteed benefit programs (i.e. pensions.) If unions would take 401k plans like the rest of us, maybe they wouldn’t be bankrupting American companies.

Toyota and Honda have manufacturing plants here (mostly in the South), and are actually doing pretty well at it.
