Dave Mielke will discuss Michigan news, including information about Michigan’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate that is now only 0.1 points above the national rate of 5.5 percent. Unfortunately, the news is not as good for new businesses. Businesses are closing at a faster pace than new ones are being started. Visitor spending reached record levels in 2014, with visitors spending $22.8 billion in Michigan, much of that due to the Pure Michigan campaign. These news stories in Michigan are just a few that will be discussed in this newscast with Dave.
