Ohio Steel Layoffs Trigger Unemployment Office Strain
Unemployment offices in Ohio see longer lines as about 7000 workers face layoffs and terminations, with 6200 losses in the steel sector centered in Youngstown. Goodyear furloughed 650 in Akron and Armco Steel cut 600, while Gov. Rhodes orders temporary offices in union halls to handle claims and job applications. If imports rise further, the state fears deeper industry harm.
