Michigan Unemployment Rate 14.1% - Total Jobless In Michigan: 1.4 Million And They Need #Tier5

According to the United States Census Bureau, Population Division and the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Wikipedia, the State of Michigan has a total population of 9,969,727 and an unemployment rate at 14.1% (underemployment is much higher). 

This state, like many others, has numbers comparable to the Great Depression unemployment numbers.  But worse if you factor conditions such as population and take the percentages out of the equation and look at the total number of people affected.  There are at least 1.4 Million unemployed in the State of Michigan.  Or to be more specific, 1,405,732, at least.

The two United States Senators from this state are Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin.  Their contact information is located here:  http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?State=MI

The voting record for these two Senators has always been in favor of the unemployed.  This is one of the main reasons why so many millions of unemployed who have exhausted their benefits are looking to these Senators for action.  (And not just the unemployed from the State of Michigan are asking for the support of Tier 5 Unemployment).  Many others who feel they do not have representation in the state they are in are also seeking assistance from all Senators.

Tier 5 Unemployment Insurance is a necessity that many jobless Americans are continuing to band together and fight for each day.  For more information to join the efforts of these campaigns, please see the campaigns for Tier 5 Unemployment at the top right corner of this blog on the sidebar. 

Information will be updated as it is known.

Wanted : Wikipedia Writer - May Pay A Tier 5

For those of you who get feeds of this blog, you just saw a feed stating that the political activism for a Tier 5 Unemployment Extension was posted to Wikipedia.  We are currently working to resolve this issue with Wikipedia.  (From my understanding, Wikipedia immediately rejected the article and flagged the Wikipedia article as a spam attempt by citing examiner.com). 

If you know how to correctly publish a Wikipedia article, please contact the editor of this blog or please post the article yourself.  It is important that the free, online encyclopedia recognizes the factual information that the unemployed seeking assistance for an extension of weeks for unemployment insurance acknowledge this movement.  The Tea Party Movement is documented and this cause is just as important as 500k unemployed Americans have exhausted benefits and a million will have exhausted benefits by the end of the month. 

US Unemployed Blogsite is working to make sure this cause is a permanent piece of US history by getting a good article on Wikipedia.  If you have suggestions or can help, please contact by email or comment.
