Maybe I'm missing the point! _________________ WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU PEOPLE DONE TO MY HOMETOWN? I KNEW I SHOULD OF HIRED A BABYSITTER! ALL THE RIFF RAFF OUT NOW! alberto.garcia.85@hotmail.com Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:22 pm  Ted Jankowski F L I N T O I D What's new is the way they are using population information to cover up how bad it really is. Notice the "Metro Area Population 441,000" LOL LOL Flint's metro area doesn't quadruple during the work day. One of the problems with listening to everything that the Newspaper says. Where did they get that highest since 1994 of only 8.5 percent. Again! Flint's unemployment is running back at 16 percent right now! I'm not at home. To get the actual numbers that where used in one of the community groups request for a grant. The state has changed the way it reports stats in order to skew the real numbers. But it was as high as 16 percent back in the 90's. but I don't have the facts with me right now.
