Jacob Brown Keeps Michigan Working

A Web designer in Novi, Jacob Brown wanted to do something to streamline employment searches in Michigan. The result is KeepMichiganWorking.com, which offers more than 90,000 job openings in the state along with information about employment fairs, job training, and resume writing tools. Brown, of Jacob Brown Designs, says he worked nights and weekends since March to make his dream a reality.
