The latest and greatest job reports continues to pound my reader. This hits close to home for me because of family members and long time friends that have lost jobs because of the recession. I think most everyone knows a family member of friend that is struggling to make ends meet. The reader has made me more aware of the crisis that continues to affect families across our country. I live in a state that has been least affected by the crisis. When you look at our country nationally, you see that states like Michigan have received the greatest impact by our economic downturns in the past few year. The reader has made me more aware and it reminds me that there is still a major problem even though the mainstream media chooses to move on at times.
