WHY:
More than 170,000 manufacturing
jobs have left Michigan since the beginning of the century. Our economy has abruptly shifted, leaving
many workers facing unemployment. Many displaced
workers will need new skills to qualify for emerging job opportunities. Credit unions, with the State of Michigan,
are ideally situated to respond to this demand with affordable financing and
assistance.
