In the state hardest hit by unemployment the biggest city is letting go of more workers. Detroit Mayor Dave Bing said on Thursday 230 more city workers would be let go by October 2. The majority of those jobs will be slashed from the Detroit Department of Transportation where 113 will be let go. Bing previously announced he would need to cut 436 jobs in order to compensate for a decline in tax revenue.
