<<<~~~~ one other thing: Around MSU campus (which is where we were the entire trip).....99.9% of businesses have HELP WANTED/NEEDED signs out !
A few which guarantee any MSU student a FOUR YEAR employment bonus ---- if they stay for entire time. Not sure what that bonus is --- but, could draw a few kids to workforce.
There (as Tim has mentioned often) --- is a SIGNIFICANT shortage of workers for entry level jobs ---- FFrestaraunts/grocerers, etc.
