A2: Entrepreneurs

A Detroit Free Press article describes how laid-off professionals are transforming into entrepreneurs. The article quotes Diane Durance, executive director of Great Lakes Entrepreneur’s Quest in Ann Arbor, who talks about coping with a lack of corporate support in technology and other areas: “All those things get harder to keep up with when you’re a single individual, whereas when you’re in a larger corporation there’s someone who takes care of that for you. So that becomes a little bit more difficult and challenging.” [Source]
