We all know Michigan has been hard hit recently with massive job cuts, foreclosures and our beloved auto industry is slowly recovering from a near collapse. Michigan's unemployment rate is still one of the highest in the country. For those of us who love Michigan and want to fully support our state, we should be doing more about our economic troubles. We can start by taking the time to purchase products made right here at home. Many of us pay little attention to how we spend our money and how that money has an impact on the future of our state. Although most Michigan residents are watching every penny we should be still be aware of what we are purchasing. Many Michigan shoppers are purchasing fruits and veggies from the fancy overpriced markets that receive a majority of their produce shipped from other states and sometimes other countries. We should be supporting Michigan's Agricultural community, which by the way, is Michigan's third largest industry next to Manufacturing and Tourism. For every one dollar spent on Michigan products three to seven other local businesses are also served. Let's change our thinking and old patterns and seek out products made right here in our own backyard. Many are unaware that Michigan is home to a significant amount of goods....we all know Better Made potato chips and Vernors Ginger Ale are made here, but Michigan offers a huge assortment of not only delicious foods but handcrafted furniture, clothing, soaps, beer and more recently the Movie industry has its feet firmly planted in Michigan soil.
