As the U.S. gradually recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, states are relaxing restrictions. But one state is recovering more slowly than all the others.
That state is Michigan, according to consumer website Wallethub.com. The state finished 51st on the list of 50 states and the District of Columbia across 21 metrics that include vaccination percentages and real GDP levels.
The national unemployment rate, which topped out at 14.8% in April of last year, has dropped to 5.8%. But some states are recovering faster than others, and data from Michigan puts the state in last place.
Indiana came in 33rd. Iowa leads the nation in the strength of its recovery.

Is anyone surprised by this? Michiganders voted for her though so I guess you get what you get.
I am not sure if Michiganders voted for her or if Dominion did…
Implementing 4 year old kindergarten would give students a boost in skills badly needed for 5 year old kindergarten and first grade. Some children do not have enough help at home to prepare them for 5 year old kindergarten. Earlier kindergarten would help children at all levels to be better prepared for achievement in 5 year old kindergarten and first grade.
With enough extra kindergarten, they might even post to the right article. (Sorry, couldn’t resist!)
