To be unacceptable to the government the government would have to hire enough people somehow to change the rate or would have to kill or deport a certain portion of the unemployed to bring the rate down to an "acceptable" level.
When completed, the LG Chem facility will produce lithium ion batteries for Chevy Volt and Ford Focus cars. It's expected to create about 450 jobs.
...the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which funded about half of the $300 million plant, points out Progress Michigan, a Lansing-based group.
