Census Having Trouble Recruiting Workers in Nation's Most Unemployed State

According to the local news in Michigan, the U.S. Census Bureau is currently going door-to-door--not to count heads, but to find people to apply for jobs with the Census.

This seems pretty strange considering Michigan has had the highest unemployment rate in the country for months--you'd think people would be standing in line, fighting over available work that pays $13/hour.

Guess again.
