Unemployed medical engineer Jim Lynch, 49, listens during an orientation meeting at the Michigan Works office in Lansing, Michigan July 22, 2009. Michigan's official unemployment rate hit 15.2 percent in June, easily higher than any other U.S. state. After more than a century of making cars, Michigan is retraining thousands of unemployed workers for new careers, now that many of their jobs may be gone for good. Picture taken July 22, 2009.
