Channel 6: Unemployment “only” 10%- Good?

Did an interview with WLNS  Channel 6 reporter Jessica Maki today.  The November employment report came out with surprisingly improved news.  Of course, it’s still bad news that employment is shrinking, but losing only 11,000 is a heck of a lot better than last month’s -111,000.

Interviewed last night on Channel 6, WLNS by Candace Burns.  Topic:  General Motors released September sales numbers they are down 45 percent from last year, and they are 35% less than last August. We know that The Lansing Delta Township Plant is looking to start a third shift next April to build the Chevy Traverse, but could that change if the numbers don’t pick up?
