Snippet: The former Michigan governor whose leadership oversaw a severe economic downturn, skyrocketing unemployment, Detroit's emerging bankruptcy, and the meltdown of the automotive industry, is now a professor specializing in job growth.
This fall, Michigan's former Democratic Gov. Jennifer Mulhern Granholm is teaching a graduate course focused on "creating jobs through better government policies," the class description states, adding "it is designed to help to launch the American Jobs Project at UC Berkeley."
Yet as governor from 2003 to 2011, Michigan's unemployment rate soared from 6.6 percent at the beginning of Granholm's term up to 14.2 percent in 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
