I've been out of a job for a month now and it sucks. The plant I worked at shut down and it laid off 2500 people. That's about 30% of the local economy and it's going to hurt the region. I guess it was the perfect storm that caused the shut down. The government regulation, new health care laws burdens, drought, the uncertainty of the economy, cost of utilities and supplies, and last but not whatever least is the viability of the company to turn a profit. Oh well I was looking for a job when I found that one, I'll just have to find another!
