I am from a city in Ontario, Canada that has the highest unemployment rate in the country. They built this city around the big Auto Makers in Detroit. It was cheaper to make product in Canada and ship it across the boarder to the big plants, then to make it on american soil because our Dollar was worth very little in comparison to the American Dollar. Then..... The stock market crashed.
Our Dollar went up, 2 of the big 3 American auto makers filed for some sort of bankruptcy and people started not buying cars... this led to no parts being needed... this lead to layoffs and peoples overall sense of security going down hill. Food Security has been hit the hardest as those that had plenty now are adjusting to eating from places like local food banks. Food Banks in Windsor, Ontario are seeing double digit increases in the amount of need for their services. The catch, the big companies that donated to them so they could buy food are no longer donating, hitting them, on both sides of the scoresheet.
As it stands, the biggest problem effecting our population here in my town is unemployment, equaling a Food Security shortage. Now....... On to how we fix it.
