looking at the ages of those at Michigan Works

while I was at my locale Michigan Works station I couldn't help but notice the make up of the people their. it was mostly older people (and those in their upper middle ages) and younger people (in their 20's or so)

I wonder if it's the time I went or is their are reason why people in those two groups are having a harder time finding work.

I'm guessing the high number of lay offs well account for many of the older workers (as well as some of the younger workers) and the fact that Michigan economy has been down for a while maybe a reason why many of the younger people have came down.

went down to Michigan Works

I went done to my local Michigan Works station near me.

for those that know the state of Michigan has been in economic trouble a few years before most of the nation (we're trend setters) and because of that our state has tried to get a number of programs to help people looking for work.

I don't know why I didn't go down sooner. I use there site in my job search, but I decided to go done to see if I can become a part of their No Worker Left behind program.

The No Worker Left Behind program is to ad people in further education so they can learn different skills to fit the jobs that are in demand in the job seekers area. Giving that I've been having a hard time recently even finding jobs that are looking for people with the skills I have, I figured it's a good ideal for me expand my repertoire.

I was told the soonest orientation meeting starts next month and if I'm in the program they well contact me with the time.

hopefully I made it into the program.
