- Description:
- In this installment of "Evening commentary," Dr. Willis Dunbar discusses the state of labor in Michigan and around the United States. Dunbar notes that while average weekly earnings have fallen from an all time high in December of 1948, the dollar has more buying power than it did at that time and that the unemployment rate has dropped to 6%, from a high of 20% in 1939. Dunbar does concede, however that the averages and big picture numbers matter little to those living in Muskegon, where unemployment is at 25% or to those people making well under the national average.
