Michigan led all states when it came to the most improvement in job market conditions between 2009 and 2010, according to the Gallup Job Creation Index, with a 20 point increase that reflected an improvement in the manufacturing sector.
...
More than half of the 10 best job markets in 2010 were in energy- and commodity-producing states, while the finance states of the Northeast and housing-depressed states of the West had the worst job markets. An increase in manufacturing activity helped improve job markets in the Midwest.
Had Granholm not made alternative energy a focus of her administration, we'd be in an even worse hole than what the decline and near-fall of the auto industry left us. She certainly doesn't get ALL the credit. Growth in the manufacturing sector is occuring thanks to our President, who had the courage to save the auto industry when some people wanted to kill it off.
The bar is set even higher for Granholm's successor, who must now try to replicate Granholm's success while at the same time eliminating such programs that have caused this very success.

Is this a good or bad thing you posted. I mean I didn't think you were a fan of Granholm?
