Ann Arbor Michigan Real Estate: Why College Towns Like Ann Arbor Are Looking Great!
The news is not all doom and gloom when it comes to Jobs here in Ann Arbor Michigan.
It appears that college towns such as Ann Arbor, MI, Gainesville, FL, Manhattan, Kansas., and Boulder, Colorado have all posted lower than average unemployment rates (The national average is currently at 8.9%).
While college towns have long been considered recession-resistant, their ability to avoid the depths of the financial crisis shaking the rest of the nation is noteworthy. In some towns they are even struggling to fill posts at the University and are crying out for applicants.
There has been a growing trend in the last few decades where localities are bringing down divisions between themselves and their universities and learning to work together and naturally growing together. Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan and it enjoys a great relationship with the college.
