Sure and even though it's "saving" 1000 jobs despite some opinions to the contrary in some posts above it DOES matter that another 1000 are still leaving. The area still has a net loss of jobs. And that will continue when it comes to factory jobs. Now I'm sure Trump etc have no issue campaigning for a second term on "without us the country would have lost more jobs" but that IS a tough sell in the end. Does the public truly believe you saved jobs if the jobless rate in the area continually moves up?
