The Indiana economy

The Kokomo Tribune reprinted a Detroit Free Press article by Justin Hyde: Chrysler to slash 12,100 jobs. Howard County may be about the last refuge for Chrysler in Indiana but the story has something for the rest of us in Indiana.

"Here’s one way to describe the depth of the problems at Chrysler LLC: close to one in three."

That’s roughly the chances a Chrysler worker has seen his or her job targeted for elimination in the last nine months, between the 12,100 reductions of hourly, salaried and contract workers announced Thursday and the 13,000 cuts launched in February.

Meanwhile, a head's up for another Indiana Blog: Hoosier Jobs. Its subtitle is: "A closer look at Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels' economic development record."
