Flint's double digit unemployment rate is the highest since the Great Depression.
While the rest of the country is on the brink of a recession, Flint is in a one
city depression. This is an outrage.
Flint's Future Now is advocating for economic development funds to be spent immediately as a local stimulus. At the same time, it is a priority to get a master plan to support job growth in a diverse economy.
If you believe that unemployment is unacceptable and that our local government officials have a responsibility to be part of the solution, Sign Up Now and help move Flint into the 21st Century. Take a look at our Call to Action to get involved in our Jobs Now advocacy work.
You can also take the step to Buy Flint First. Start with a cup of coffee at Good Beans Café right in the heart of the city on North Grand Traverse in Carriage Town. Every dollar spent at a locally owned store or restaurant helps provide good jobs.
