The state of Missouri has been informed by a major logistics employer that 337 workers were being let go from the warehouse they have been serving due to an imminent contract loss.
It appears there will soon be two more vacant buildings in Illinois as a document submitted to the state indicates medical and social service facilities are closing which will result in 157 being out of work in March.
This is a large number of Illinois people who just learned they are jobless. According to documents filed with the state, one Illinois company just let 365 workers go from 4 different locations.
