DAMN. Tue Jan 06, 2009 8:54 pm  Adam Ford F L I N T O I D The numbers are misleading. I don't think they include people who gave up looking for jobs or part timers that can't find full time work etc. etc. The numbers should also get work. I tried getting the council to repeal some of the anti-business ordinances but we might have to hit 20% for that to happen. I think Flint might be able to function as a low cost center but the council and the mayor are doing a good job at protecting us from "annoying" home businesses. Wed Jan 07, 2009 12:50 am  Ryan Eashoo F L I N T O I D So Genesee County is 11.6%? quote: Adam schreef: http://www.michigan.gov/dleg/0,1607,7-154--206075--,00.html Nov-07 Unemployment 7.7% Oct-08 10.9% Nov-08 11.6% _________________ Flint Michigan Resident, Tax Payer, Flint Nutt - Local REALTOR - Activist. www.FlintTown.com Wed Jan 07, 2009 1:52 am  Adam Ford F L I N T O I D Yes for the month of November. December's number has not come in yet. Thu Jan 08, 2009 1:02 am  Ryan Eashoo F L I N T O I D Wow thats terrible, I believe the number is actually higher. How do they get their #s? just from people who file for unemployment? _________________ Flint Michigan Resident, Tax Payer, Flint Nutt - Local REALTOR - Activist. www.FlintTown.com Thu Jan 08, 2009 1:42 am  Tegan F L I N T O I D and you can add at least one more person to the number next month....

I know that you said something about preservation, I think. Was that your Major? Fri Jan 09, 2009 5:37 am  Tegan F L I N T O I D well, my job now is actually a seasonal job for the Genesee County Parks - Assistant Crossroads Village Program Coordinator - so I would be getting laid off for a month in Febraury regardless. Unfortunately, they are eliminating the position, so there is nothing for me to get rehired to; Andi, my masters will be in historic preservation (one more semester! yay!) my job at Crossroads Village really didn't pertain to preservation very much, so this is probably a great opportunity for me. MI SHPO just posted a job for a history specialist in Lansing, so maybe it will work in my favor. Fri Jan 09, 2009 8:36 am  twotap F L I N T O I D Good luck to you sounds like you were way over qualified for that crossroads job. keep your chin up. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!

Fri Jan 09, 2009 8:57 am  andi03 F L I N T O I D There is another job that just opened up locally that may be of benefit for you, but I think that you may be way, way, way overqualified. In reading your posts in the past you sound like you are competent. If I remember right your car is paid off, which is a good thing!!! Fri Jan 09, 2009 9:04 am  Tegan F L I N T O I D Thank you! I was truly blessed to be employed by the parks for the last two years, especially in this position for the past year. You can have all the education in the world, but until you get the supervisory experience, it really isn't complete. I am a much stronger person than I was. That being said, I was ready to move on with my degree anyway, just not so soon! Andi, i'm always open to opportunities, especially local ones. It's hard for everyone right now, and having a husband who has a good job makes me a lot luckier than single income families facing lay offs. So I'm trying to stay positive.

Andi Fri Jan 09, 2009 2:52 pm  rapunzel11 F L I N T O I D My ex. just got laid off today. add another to unemployment. No more child support for us. Child has outgrown school clothes. Guess I should find a second job..heat bills are climbing. Is some warm weather to much to hope for? Don't see any warm winds coming to Flint soon.
