Michigan reaches highest employment level in more than two decades
Michigan had more people working in 2023 than at any time in the past two decades, and the job growth has continued into 2024, according to a new report from the state.
But the report says job openings have declined in the past few months, and the prospects for job growth over the coming eight years are slim.
Those conclusions come from the Michigan Annual Economics Analysis released by the Michigan Center for Data and Analytics on Monday.
The center calculated that Michigan had an annualized average of 4,850,000 jobs for the first six months of this year. That’s the highest total since 2001.
