November '08 is not a good time to be looking for a job in Dayton, Ohio. ANP producers David Murdock and Mike Fritz continue their road trip with reporter Tony Pugh of McClatchy Newspapers, stopping in Dayton to hear from workers struggling to find a lifeline in tempestuous times. This was once a place where good union jobs were plentiful in the auto plants dotting the landscape, and generations of Ohioans depended on the factories to provide steady incomes with good health care and pension benefits. But the hard times currently hitting Wall Street have been felt here since 2006 and the Dayton Job Center is now taking in more than three thousand visits a month with people looking for work.
