The jump into double-digit unemployment last month resulted from annual temporary layoffs in the auto industry being combined with a slow construction season and weakness in the leisure and retail business climate, said a state government analyst. Lenawee County’s jobless rate was 9.5 percent jobless in June. All counties in Michigan saw an increase in unemployment in July.
Lenawee County was particularly hard hit, moving from 60th place in employment among Michigan’s 83 counties in June to 65th place in July. Lenawee County’s 11.2 percent jobless rate is the county’s highest since it reached 12.7 percent in March 1991

The good people of Lenawee don't deserve this.
If there were alternative businesses in Michigan they could trade up on careers.
But alas Michigan has kowtowed to the auto industry for so long we are crippled by it's inevitable disappearance.
We have virtually no public transportation, no taxi service, no train service, no subway...that's what the auto industry has brought to Michigan, exclusion of all possible competing business models.
Welcome to Detroit
