Location: Cicero, NY | A friend of mine, a UM grad, just sent me a link today from the Free Press that gave an unemployment number in Detroit of 28.9%. If you add in those not in that number - those not looking, the MIT grad who's working part-time at Best Buy and all the others, it really makes you cringe... |
