I feel the legislation is fairly self-explanatory. The unemployment rate of the Midwest was at 9% when this was written, now it is under 6%, which is great. However, many employees may see a pink slip following the end of the holidays. This bill will help the chronically and recently unemployed be able to adapt to the changing jobs market.

Any idea what the interest rates would be on these loans or would that be up t the Bank of the Midwest?

[GAworth]

The Bank Chair would set that, we can write it in.
