More than 200 new jobs will be coming to the north side of Flint this year, and the good news couldn't have come at a better time.

If you're resume lists any of these 35 jobs, it's time to update! Positions like a VCR repairman,  town crier, or a  milkman are jobs that just don't have a place in the working world anymore. As a matter of fact there is a pretty big list of jobs that you might need to take off your resume...

Kroger has announced plans to hire 1,800 employees for its Michigan stores.

In a first-of-it's kind "Regional Wage and Benefit Survey", findings indicate that more than 86% of companies surveyed expect to add new jobs in 2014, and the news was even better for Lapeer, where 91% of respondents anticipate hiring this year. Other good news reflected that more than 93% of firms in the survey did not expect layoffs in 2014.

Overall, the unemployment rate in Michigan has edged steadily downward. Last week it dropped slightly to 7.4%, however the story is different in Lapeer County than for the rest of the state.

It looks like the Geek Squad has come across a problem it can’t solve.

As kids, we typically had to listen to adults preach to us about how we needed to study hard in school to become doctors and lawyers. However, what they didn’t tell us is that it was possible to earn six figures doing other, more unusual work.

With the unemployment rate being what it is, a lot of people these days are being forced to work for minimum wage. But exactly how much you get could depend largely on what state you’re in.

The Occupy Wall Street crowd may have derided the so-called “one percent,” but someone is so proud to be in those upper ranks that he showed his disdain for the rest of us by tipping a restaurant server exactly — yes — one percent on a tab, and including a nasty note to boot.
