Is Michigan pretty much the worst state in the U.S. now?
Michigan has a high unemployment rate, lack of jobs, and cold weather much of the year. Michigan is one of the few states that has a declining population, and due to the fact that the automobile industry in Detroit had plummeted, jobs for that industry are scarce now and most of Detroit looks bad and depressing and has a very high crime rate. The weather in Michigan is generally depressing, and it is snows many months of the year and is just cloudy, giving a lack of sunshine to the people that inhabit Michigan. Many Michigan residents are moving to states like Texas and Colorado due to the amount of jobs available for them and it is easier to open a business there. Not to mention those states have warmer weather and more outside activities which make it not only for good individuals or couples to live, but also families. Cities like Colorado Springs are growing in population dramatically due to an influx of people, many from Michigan, moving in for a more satisfied life.
