The New Layoff Economy

Layoffs are everywhere: almost 900 auto workers in Lordstown, possibly1,000 steelworkers in Warren, more in construction, retail, and health care. It's beginning to seem that no matter what sector of the economy you name, odds are it's shedding jobs. On our program, we'll take a hard look at the reality of unemployment in NE Ohio. We'll talk to employers making tough choices, workers looking for opportunities, and those involved in retraining workers for their next career. Join us Tuesday morning at 9.Ken Braun spokesman, Republic Engineered Products
