Reuters NAUBINWAY United States of America 11/12/2009

1 of 301

Captain Brady Baker cleans fish onboard his fishing boat in Naubinway, Michigan October 15, 2009. Naubinway, Michigan, an Upper Peninsula town, has been hit hard by the recession in the United States with unemployment figures reaching 6.1 percent in September of 2009. What's going on in Baraga and the rest of the Upper Peninsula, or UP, mirrors the slow burn that the recession has made through hundreds of small rural U.S. towns. For such communities, the loss of a large local employer casts a long shadow. Tax revenue falls, hitting local services from schools and healthcare to police forces and firefighters.
