With Michigan being much older and poorer, the glory days [[1940s-early 1970s and the 1990s) aren't coming back. In fact, things are going to get much worse once the Auto Industry collapses again when the brunt of the next recession is felt later this year.
I really think this is wrong. Michigan is a perfectly good place to live if you have [[or don't need) a job. Certainly some people might want to live someplace else for a lot of different reasons, but you hardly have to be martyr to stick around.

Also, very little chance of a recession this year. But I can guarantee there will be one someday, and Michigan will do worse than most places when it comes. However, the next one is very unlikely to be as bad as the last.
