Here’s a tip: Get to the unemployment office before 3 p.m. After that, the doors are locked and nobody gets in.
Tuesday, it didn’t really matter, though. The one-story office building at 3391 Plainfield Ave. NE was crammed with hundreds of jobless people, from the counters to the double-glass doors out into the parking lot.
Just before 3 p.m., you would be the 637th person in line. Soon, another 10 or 20 more people would shove in behind you before the security guard locked the door.
This is the face of unemployment in Michigan.
Sounds to me like the actual City of Detroit needs to stand in the line.
