michigan jobs

i was reading an article in the new york times about the primary voting for the republican canadites and they gave a statistic regarding michicgan's job loss that i thought i would share. yesterday voters were polled to see how many people had lost their jobs in their household in the last 3 years. ''About 3 in 10 Michigan voters said someone in their household had lost a job in the last three years, according to surveys of voters conducted by Edison Research for the National Election Pool of television networks and The Associated Press.'' i couldn't believe that statistic. that's a lot of people losing jobs. and it's very recently.
