In this economy? Michigan experts say uncertainty is the name of the game. |
Inflation is inescapable: Prices are up 8.3%, the highest annual hike in four decades, with food and gasoline seeing some of the biggest gains. In the past two years several blows to the economy have put a strain on American pocketbooks. When will it get better?: The short answer: To be determined. With supply disrupted and demand stimulated on items, it puts an upward pressure on prices. Worries of stagflation are starting to loom. A good sign: One sign of a healthy economy is a healthy labor market. Unemployment, which peaked at 14.7% two years ago, has rebounded to 3.6%. Meanwhile job gains swung back adding 428,000 jobs in April as the number of openings steadily surpassed 11 million for the past seven months. |

This roadside park is home to the ‘Grand Canyon’ of Michigan. |
A natural wonder:It’s easy to cruise right past the roadside park sign on the side of U.S. 41 just south of L’Anse. But if you stop and follow the pathway into the woods here, you’ll be treated to one of Michigan’s natural wonders: Canyon Falls and Gorge. The history behind: This Upper Peninsula treasure was created over thousands of years as the Sturgeon River carved its way into the earth, forming a narrow canyon with steep walls of exposed rock — leading to the nickname “The Grand Canyon of Michigan.”
Focusing on the Upper Peninsula: New Keweenaw Boat Tours takes passengers on scenic U.P. waterway adventures.
