Reply #26: We've been hit hard with job losses here in southwest Ohio [View All]

There was a UPS hub at the Dayton International Airport that ended operations. I think we lost a couple of thousand jobs with that one. A GM assembly plant located in the Dayton area is scheduled to close up on 12/23/08. That's going to cost us an estimated 6000 jobs when you factor in all of the truckers and parts manufacturing people who will lose their jobs as well. My brother-in-law is now unemployed. He worked for Johnson Controls which supplied the seats for the SUVs being made at the GM plant.

And now we have DHL closing up shop. This place might start looking like a ghost town pretty soon.
