Small Town Faces Economic Collapse As Major Employers Layoff Thousands of Workers

Caption: WILMINGTON, OH - DECEMBER 16: Nicky Lily-Warren breaks down in worry over a potential back operation December 16, 2008 in Wilmington, Ohio. An unemployed single mother with health problems, she is covered by Medicaid but has few recources and may soon be evicted from her home. Finding work in town of Wilmington has become virtually impossible, as the main employers, the German shipping company DHL and its partner ABX are cutting more than 7,000 jobs. City officials say that the total number of jobs lost could reach almost 10,000, as smaller businesses tied to DHL and ABX close up. The massive layoffs are expected to devestate the economies of several counties surrounding the Wilmington hub. DHL is shutting down its domestic-only air and ground services in the United States, but will retain several thousands workers in the U.S. to serve its international express customers.
