While 16 is the minimum age for most nonfarm work, minors aged 14 and 15 may work outside of school hours in certain occupations under certain conditions. Minors may, at any age: deliver newspapers; perform in radio, television, movies, or theatrical productions; work for their parents in their solely owned nonfarm businesses (except in mining, manufacturing, or in any other occupation declared hazardous by the Secretary); or gather evergreens and make evergreen wreaths.

in truth , you are much to young to really get a job. stay in school and prepare yourself for your future. you will need a lot of education to compete in the job market about 10 years from now. that is about the amount of time you need to spend on an education. do you know how many people are laid off and out of work in michigan today? more than most states. use this time of your life to look toward your future and prepare YOURSELF. HOPE I HELPED !!!!

How to find a job in Detroit, Michigan?
Help! I am a college graduate (double major: theatre tech and art), great verbal and written communication skills, know photoshop like the back of my hand, artistically inclined, great sales and people person and I cannot find a job to save my life. I am currently working as a server in a restaurant but that's not even paying the bills because of the crap economy. I have a great work ethic and am not afraid of a little hard work. I have scoured the major job internet job sites and sent out countless resumes for graphic design and web design positions which has all been to no avail. I am desperate for something... anything!!! I am planning on returning for graduate school within the next 1-2 years but I have some serious matters going down on the homefront and I can't leave. WHAT TO DO?!? Does anyone know of any company looking for an intelligent, motivated, driven young professional for an entry level position in the Detroit area? I am a fast learner! p.s. I am no longer restricting my job search to include graphic/web design positions. Something! Anything! pref. decent pay with bennies.

My Nephew got his teaching degree and has been looking for a job for 1 year now, he is looking to move away too. My son in law has been designing part for one of the big 3 for 12 years now making a lot of money. His Co. is now laying of people and his hr. have been cut so bad their starting to lose things.

I cant help. When you go to grad school I would try to get a business degree. Many companies want a well rounded employee. Understanding business is key to working in a Business. Good Luck to you.

My place of employment is hiring right now. Too bad I can't give out any info that might lead to my true Identity. Try Gardner White Furniture, Taylor or Canton. They will hire anybody.


5
Sign up for the Michigan Talent Bank at MichiganWorks.com. You'll be asked to compile a list of employment fields you are interested in working in and want to receive information on. They will send you a daily e-mail digest listing job postings from companies that have positions open related to the fields you previously selected. They will range from entry level/hourly to professional salaried positions. The e-mail digests are usually several pages long and should provide you with many options. For any positions you are interested in I would recommend reaching the listed contact by phone or e-mail, and not using the website's "Send Resume" option. I signed up with MichiganWorks in 2005 and landed a nice job at Ford Motor Company that helped me pay my way through college.


6
Send your resume to every ad agency, PR house, Kraft Foods, Sarah Lee, etc IN CHICAGO and get the heck away from Detroit. If you REALLY have to stay in Detroit, see if Kelly Services can get you into a decent temp-to-hire position. It's the only way to get a decent job right now.

Why did Socialism destroy Detroit Michigan?

Why did Socialism destroy Detroit Michigan?
30 years ago Detroit was a great city, since they adopted Socialist political govt the city looks now like a 3rd world nation. Only 30% of H.School kids graduate, 50% of the population is on welfare. Now we have these same policies taking over the country? WOW! We are looking at a rough rough road ahead of us! Pray they lose power in 2010!!! Or the entire country will look like Detroit! They have more crime, more poverty and no jobs so people will vote for Progressives- thats the liberal stragedy to keep power, they use people. Its so bad in Detroit, the population is 1/2 of what it was a decade ago. The homes are so run down and torn up by theives they plan to someday to just tear it all down- it looks like a 3rd world country! Like Venezuela there! Its gross! Average College Student- WOWY! One of the best economies? Im in shock! I hope your not an average college student really because your not learning any facts! Frightening!

We all may as well join the ObamaNation and embrace socialism, it is being shoved down our throats. If you cant' beat them, join them and stop working so damn hard. No job, give me food , shelter and a paycheck, please.

Detroit needs more immigrants.

It didnt destroy it. Detroit has one of the best potential economies in the nation. Good for investment.


6
Socialism always leads to Detroit. Most major cities in communist countries looked like Detroit does now. It used to be a beautiful city when I was young...now it's a ghost town.


7
Tisk, tisk. You really are naive and don't understand what real socialism is, do you? Detroit has become a ghost town because the car industry is drying up. Or did you not get the memo on this happening? Donna


8
You really need to learn what socialism is.


9
Socialism will come to this country under the veil of compassion.


10
Actually, it would be globalization--which socialist platforms strongly dislike--that killed a manufacturing economy in Detroit.


11
Detroit is part of the United States. It is capitalist. Thus, capitalism destroyed Detroit. There is nothing about Detroit's system of government or economy that is socialist. If it was socialist, the government would be providing jobs, jobs training, and doing more to prevent big business from leaving Detroit. But, we are capitalist. Capitalism is great, but doesn't work perfectly.


12
It looks like Magnitorgorsk, Russia circa 1979


13
You want failed socialism, just look a Greece, that is what happens under socialism. 1 out of 4 people work for the government there, hmmm, can't imagine why that didn't work out.


14
I lived in the Detroit area 30 years ago. It was no great city. It was a giant ghetto even then (it was the murder capital of the world even then). The days of Detroit's greatness are near 40-50 years back now. Most of Detroit's problems stem from racial conflicts in the state. Long ago white flight left Detroit in a bad way, the leadership in Detroit was then replaced by black leaders that took out their frustrations on business and the people of that area, and the state of Michigan simply let them sink into those problems (wanting nothing to do with the city). Ask people from that area...its no secret. At this point it's basically a old run down war zone...and no one, at all, wants much of anything to do with the city. Socialism, capitalism, whatever....its not coming back.


15
Capitalism killed Detroit The car industry made people in the area relatively rich, they moved out of the city to the suburbs. When the car industry died after you started buying cheap imports, everything died. More money into social programs would have held the city up


16
Not just Detroit. Every major city where Democrats have governed over time suffers from the highest crime, unemployment, and poverty levels. Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961; Buffalo, NY (2ND) hasn't elected one since 1954; Cincinnati, OH (3rd)... since 1984; Cleveland, OH (4Th)... since 1989; Miami, FL (5Th) has never had a Republican Mayor; St. Louis, MO (6Th).... since 1949; El Paso, TX (7Th) has never had a Republican Mayor; Milwaukee, WI (8Th)... since 1908; Philadelphia, PA (9Th)... since 1952; Newark, NJ(10Th)... since 1907.


17
Umm, the closure of factories by the auto industry is caused by socialism? Try a narrow economic base. If a city depends on one major industry for employment, there is a risk that a downturn will result in labor being laid off without any alternative industry picking up the surplus. This dependence on the auto industry dates back to the early 20th Century and is a by-product of regional specialization caused by the free market.


18
If you want to blame an economic model for Detroit’s failure blame capitalism. Capitalism says that the companies are allowed to do whatever they want in order to increase revenues. Detroit’s primary market is in the automobile industry and in order to maximize revenues the auto industry started to outsource their labor to foreign markets, therefore leaving tons of workers unemployed. Because workers did not want to be abuse like the way we abuse people in third world countries they created an union, however given our current capitalist economic structure it didn’t work out well because people are greedy the worse parasites that have walked on Earth.


19
About 50 years ago, most of the cars manufactured in the world were built either in or around Detroit, now most of the cars manufactured in the world are built outside the United States. With that decline in manufacturing in the Detroit area, came the decline in jobs, and the loss of population as the people who could moved away to try and find jobs elsewhere. The people who remain in Detroit are the ones who are now stuck there, they lack the means to go anywhere else. The decrease in jobs and population, meant a decrease in tax revenue for the city, to the point where it can barely afford to maintain it's infrastructure, and emergency services. So, exactly how did Socialism cause this?


20
Socialism killed Detroit because when the government gives out money to people who don't work, that kills others ambitions to actually work. The government teaches the people that they don't have to go and get a real job, the government will take care of them. A real sticking point here is that the government doesn't have any money, the government only takes money from those that actually have an income from a real job. So after a while they finally run out of money or they go into debt by borrowing money. The real problem with Detroit is the fact that government stepped in and made Detroit make cars that no one really wanted. In 1998 you could buy a Diesel Suburban, put a turbocharger on it and get 30 miles a gallon. Just last night I saw an advertisement for a small car that was supposed to get 28 miles to the gallon. New 2010 small car gets 28 miles to the gallon, '98 GMC Diesel Suburban got 30 miles to the gallon. Wow we have come so far. And Detroit is set for the housing market to rebound, right now you can buy a house there for under $1.00. Hundreds of houses on the market, but no one will even buy them because there is no jobs there. Michigan as a whole has lost over 2 million jobs, and the Governor there is bragging about how they will create 40,000 new jobs over the next 10 years. 2 million out of work applying for 40,000 new jobs over the next 10 years, what are your chances of getting a job, pretty slim.

I'm thinking about visiting my friend in Detroit, Michigan.?
My buddy lives on the East side of Detroit. I think the name of the street is Warren Avenue. He goes to Finney High School, and he is a senior. We went to grade school together. I'm curious what there is to in that area? Does anyone know the area. Is Detroit fun? I'm 18, and I can't drink. He said the East side of Detroit is fun, and it has entertaining things to do. He also told me that the neighborhoods on the Northeast side of Detroit are really underrated, and there isn't as many burnt out homes as the lower east side. Anyone live on the east side? What are happening spots?

You will actually feel very threatened living in the downtown, or East side... Best you get over to Windsor or to Belle isle for at least a little greenery. Detroit is arguably the most intensely dangerous part of the US.

For your age, to the east of Detroit is St Claire Shores. There are a lot of fun places to go to up there and depending what you like to do, there are many options. You can also go north of the city to Ferndale or Royal Oak. There are some teen clubs up that way that you would probably enjoy.

Downtown is always fun but there is skateland on Alter road. Renaissance Bowling Center on Woodward. The Magic Stick pool hall on Woodward. Belle Isle isn't that far from Warren Ave so that would also be nice. Plenty of 18 and up clubs downtown from St. Andrews to the Good Life Lounge. It just depends on what you want to do. Check out the Metro Times website for things to do around the city. If your into Gospel music there are always a lot of musicals and concerts check out detroitgospel.com look at the calendar for shows coming up. Detroit isn't as bad as some try to make it seem. It has problems like any other city. If you want to find trouble you will but usually if you're looking for fun it's not hard to find. And while your here check out Pizza Papolis in greektown. They have the best pizza in the world!!!

There are sooooooooo many lakes here in Michigan, I would call some local marina's tell them of the situation, see where that leads you. Generally those fella's know or can lead you to someone who does. OR, I don't know the distance you want to travel, but check out Michigan Lakes on the web, there is so much info there! Also, as for the pole's you may get them donated, check with the local KofC, Lions, whoever you have in your area. It's just for the one time. Once you start checking this out you'll be surprised what you'll find. Most people are happy to help especially 'schools' with the larger # of children. good luck and have fun.


2
call walmart and tell them what and when you are planing to do this and ask them for donations call the nearest marina and tell them your plans and ask if they might know of any body that might help you and call your states dnr and ask them


3
I would say the easiest way for a group of school kids is to find a trout farm or a fish farm. I'm sure there are some in the Detroit area. They will have all the tackle needed for rent. Usually if you have group of school kids they will offer a discount on rental for the tackle. It will be less expensive than a boat, they will have a good chance of catching fish. There is usually several different lakes to fish and some farms have different species in different lakes/ponds. I would say that's the easiest away to go about it.

My husband wants to move the family back to Michigan (Detroit metro area)?

My husband wants to move the family back to Michigan (Detroit metro area)?
To make a long story longer, we met in Michigan (he was in Detroit, I was in Kalamazoo) and after having our first two children, we moved to the Atlanta metro area to "start over." (This was back when the economy really started going to pot in Michigan.) We've got a good thing going now (stable jobs, live in a nice area out in the country with an excellent school system, little or no crime, etc.) and now he's talking about moving back to Michigan to be closer to his family. He has one of those families where EVERYONE lives within 20 minutes or so of each other. Here in Georgia, the only family we have is my mom and step dad. My family has always been spread out. We're close-ish with each other, but we're not the Brady Bunch. What I remember of Detroit was very dark, depressed, closed gas stations on every corner, bums on the street corners, etc. This is making me sick thinking about it. He's talking about moving out farther away from the city (for those of you who are familiar with the area, he's thinking Shelby Township or somewhere similar). My point is, it doesn't matter WHERE you go in the area (even if you live in Grosse Point) you're *still* surrounded by the ghetto. (I realize not the whole city of Detroit is a ghetto, but my husband was raised differently than I was. We both grew up in lower-middle class blue collar families, but I was raised in the country vs. he, who was raised in the city. I do NOT want to raise my family in an area like that. I don't want to have to drive through some sh*thole section of the city any time we go anywhere. I'm getting nauseous thinking about that. That's not where I want to raise my family. We have a good thing going now (albeit we're far away from his family), but if it ain't broke, don't fix it, you know? I suggested moving somewhere half way between, but he said he didn't want to move somewhere just to look at different trees. What should we do? This is one of those situations where we're going to have to agree to disagree. What would you guys do if you were in our situation? I HATE DETROIT and the surrounding areas. :( Sorry I offended you, tartar. He and I just have different standards, I suppose. What he considers nice is what I consider borderline ghetto. I don't have a problem with any of the townships, really. My point was, to go ANYWHERE in the metro Det. area you have to drive through a seedy area of town. I don't want to be around that. I remember quite a lot about my many years in Michigan, and what bothers me the most are the endless streets (grids) of shi**y little run down houses that ALL look alike. i don't want to wake up every morning looking out my kitchen window and watching my neighbor patch his chain link fence, smoking a cigarette and beating his dog that's chained to the broken part of the fence. The only experience I have with the area (as far as living) is south Warren. And that's where we'd end up living, I can guarandamntee it.

Detroit is a perfect example of the failures in our economic policys in the US, since Reagan, as we have gotten rid of so much of our manufacturing as the wealthy and big corporations continue to exploit cheap labor in poorer country's. Somehow, I don't think it would phase the people who are attending the G20 summit.
