You Are Not Alone in Your Financial Worries
Families all over the country are experiencing tough economic times. But Michigan has been hit especially hard. According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, Michigan's employment dropped more than any other state in the first six months of 2009.
Job loss is one of the most common factors that drive people to bankruptcy. Here, too, Michigan is one of the nation's "leaders." In 2008, fully five percent of total nonbusiness bankruptcy petitions nationwide were filed in Michigan.*
The point of all the numbers is to illustrate that you are not alone if you are facing financial difficulties. Your neighbors and co-workers may not talk about it — but layoffs, foreclosures and bankruptcy filings are very common in southeastern Michigan.
