Because of Michigan's over-dependence on the auto industry, their economy has been in the toilet for at least three years. Their housing crisis started about that long ago. I remember visiting my sister north of Detroit two and a half years ago. She and her husband were trying to sell their house, but so were one out of three houses in their entire neighborhood. The state actually has a "michigan economic development corporation" to promote the skilled workforce internationally in an attempt to FINALLY diversify their economy.Originally Posted by saab2000
Actually, people who know the auto world at all have been talking about the dire state of all three US auto manufacturers for months. Their cash position has been getting more and more critical for a long time. This not a new thing.
