Michigan’s Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s decision to ban most residential construction during the coronavirus shutdown led to a 44 percent decline in Michigan construction jobs and contributed to her state’s second highest in the nation unemployment rate.
Although unemployment rates rose in every state in April, three states stand out in particular: Nevada led the nation at 28.2 percent, followed by Michigan at 22.7, and Hawaii at 22.3.
Michigan’s 22.7 percent jobless rate is the highest the state has registered since at least 1976, when comparable data was first tracked. The state’s previous high was 16.7 percent in December 1982 at the height of the 1980s auto downturn, making April’s numbers worse than the Great Recession of 2009 and likely the worst seen since the Great Depression nearly a century ago. The question is why was Michigan hit so hard in comparison to most of the nation.

Point is to tank the US economy so that they can blame Trump for it. Its insane but they are doing it.
Actions have consequences.
Remember in November
Vote R.E.D.
Remove
Every
Democrat
Perhaps they could get some retribution by building the gallows to hang that evil piece of hammered dog feces from.
Raise taxes in your state. Do not look for a bailout from more responsible states.
It's insane because it will likely backfire big time. At the rallies I've been to in California protesting the lockdown, Trump flags are everywhere.
Nevada and Hawaii are both mainly tourist destinations. Witless in Michigan has no excuse.
when does she come up for re-election?
I believe the Dims seriously miscalculated.
They thought that closing the economy would hurt Trump’s chances of re-election. But the people now hate their guts because of the lockdown and they’re going to vote for Trump, and Republicans, in November.
I’m Confused?? Wasn’t the sole purpose of this lockdown in the first place, to destroy the Economy and plunge Millions of Innocent Voters into Poverty, all in an effort to Destroy Trumps Successful Economy?
Uncle Joe, have Dr. Jill read this article out loud for you.
Look at what Gov. Whitmer has done to the economy in her state. It wasn’t necessary to shut down most of construction.
Do you really want someone like her to serve as your VP?
She’s plain out dangerous and in over her head.
Not until 2022
22 huh?
she’s clamping down on the michiganders to prove she’s a worthy veep to hiden biden???
No plan B when "Go With Joe" fails, except violence and voter fraud.
Nobody can be this stupid by themselves. Witless is being advised by a group of people all who must be in some sort of group think we can bring down Trump drunken rage.
I hope she handed Michigan to Trump
She has to prove she will whatever she’s told to destroy the country.
Michiganders are no different from Americans everywhere.We love our families and want a good life today and a better life tomorrow for our kids.
We work hard, and we expect our government to work hard for us as well.
We have grit and value loyalty. And we still root for the Detroit Lions.
We -- and all Americans -- might be weary of today's politics, but we must stay engaged. Our country, our democracy, our future demand it. We are capable of great things when we work together. We cannot forget that despite the dishonesty and division of the last few years, together -- we have boundless potential.
And young Americans are proving that every day.
By taking action...
Remember. Listen to what people say -- but watch what they do. It's time for action.
That was then, this is now.
Whitmer was lying. She's not "weary of today's politics," she's reveling in it.

What an idiot she is. How the heck can any Michigan vote for this fool in 2022 when she is up for election??
So where is the recall?
