I’m wondering what new policy or standard of proof Michigan has implemented that caused this?

What? What's the unemployment rate in Detroit?
I'm suspicious. You mean all those muzzies in Dearborn have jobs?

How many more people in Michigan are on disability now than in 2009?
How much lower is the labor participation rate in Michigan than in 2009?

But Owens said some people may have had their unemployment benefits exhausted and no longer are receiving them.
May have? Gee, ya' think?
And how many thousands moved out of state during the same 2009-2015 time frame?

This ‘reduction’ can only be significant if there is a corresponding increase in the total number of people employed.

The population has been pretty stable for the last few years. (within a fraction of a percent plus or minus)

...What policy or standard...is responsible...
The numerous Congressionally mandated unemployment payment eligibility length extension periods finally ran out.

And Ford is seriously considering moving some of its production from Michigan to Mexico. Tired of losing money on Focus, etc.

You eventually get move off unemployment. Sadly many just move to SS disability to ride until death.

The population has been pretty stable for the last few years.
If they didn't leave the state, then they just dropped out of the job market. That's what I did in NY.
Was downsized in 2007 at 60 y/o ... was on UI for 99 weeks. After that I was about 62 and who the hell is going to hire me?
So I did nothing for 5-6 months, then went on early SS.

It is awesome here. The climate here is amazing (upnorth) and the state is gorgeous.
But let’s not tell everyone.

The fact is that the job market is considerably better than it was under Granholm.
Gotta figure, we’re a right to work state now which helps secondary manufacturers a lot. Looks like corporate welfare and film subsidies are dead in Michigan now too. Killing the business property tax sure as hell didn’t hurt.
I personally would do things differently than Snyder but for the most part I can’t complain too much about his economic actions. We still face a lot of problems flowing from Washington. (endless EPA regs, Great lakes directional drilling ban etc)
