Michigan most improved in job creation in 2010

It's one of those can't-believe-it stories that bucks the common wisdom... but the Gallup Job Creation Index reports that Michigan led the nation in job creation improvement in 2010. North Dakota still rules the roost as the best job market, but the Mitten was the most improved.

Excerpt:

"Michigan led all states when it came to the most improvement in job market conditions between 2009 and 2010, according to the Gallup Job Creation Index, with a 20 point increase that reflected an improvement in the manufacturing sector.

However, North Dakota kept its place atop the states with the best job market, followed by the District of Columbia, South Dakota, Alaska, Arkansas, West Virginia, Maryland, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa and Pennsylvania."
