ROSEVILLE, Mich. — After 17 years at the same company, Dawn Wilson has just lost her job.
The petite blond stands in the parking lot of Roseville Towne Center, a strip mall with a Walmart, a Dollar Tree, a jewelry pawn shop and what was Hillary Clinton's campaign office, where a bright yellow sidewalk tent now hawks "Free Cell Phones."
A few people wait to sign up for the phones.
"I've worked there for 17 years. I was on vacation when I got a text from my boss on Good Friday to call him. He told me don't come back to work on Monday, you no longer have a job," Wilson explained.
Of her ability to get another job as a purchaser and customer-service professional, she sounds pragmatic: "I'm confident I'll find something. I am an incredibly hard worker, I have had two job interviews this week, it will happen."
Of her town's fortunes, she sounds blunt: "It was once middle class, now I would call it lower middle class."

Excellent choice right on the money!
This is why many employees don't take time off.
What ARE you talking about? That's just silly.
