Volvo is likely to completely exit the US market this year. They just aren't competitive with other auto brands and as a result sell so few that it is no longer worthwhile to continue in the US.

Bloomington limestone firm to close, lay off 166
An 88-year-old Indiana company that supplied limestone to many of the countrys most important buildings is going out of business, putting 166 employees out of work.
Bloomington-based Indiana Limestone Co. Inc. notified the Indiana Department of Workforce Development that it would close its entire operations and permanently lay off its entire workforce as the result of pending bankruptcy proceedings and the possible sale of the assets of the company.
ILC is the largest limestone quarry company and fabricator in North America, according to its website. Over the years it has supplied limestone for the construction of numerous landmark buildings, including the Empire State Building, Pentagon and the National Cathedral, as well as 35 state capitol buildings.
About half of the employees are represented by one of four unions: the Laborers International Union of North America, the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, and the Journeymen Stonecutters Association of Indiana.
Resilience Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in Cleveland, acquired ILC from Columbus-based Johnson Ventures in 2010 for an undisclosed amount.
Resilience merged the company with Victor Oolitic Stone Co., which it acquired in 2009. The company has struggled with debt since the merger and owes creditors tens of millions of dollars.
========================================
Ironic name of the Company, Resilience.
I bet the plant re-opens under a different name in less than a year without any Union employees.

Wow, I didn't notice the date and I'm sure McOwned didn't either. He was just happy to post more doom and gloom.

What do you expect? He's an idiot! You might as well post daily police blotters about murders.
I get him though. You have to view the world through his lense, and it's admittedly pretty out of focus when it comes to jobs and self sufficiency.
Wait, wut? This is one of Mitt Romney's great success stories, all of the jobs created.
No mention of how many jobs are going to be impacted by the store closures.

Entenmann's closing Bay Shore bakery, cutting 178 jobs
"This was a difficult decision," Rod Cunha, vice president of operations for the metro area, said in a statement. However, he said, the plant, opened in 1961, "cannot operate efficiently on a cost competitive basis with the other bakeries in our system."
Newly hired production workers get paid $11.50 an hour, in contrast with the $19 to $20 an hour salaries that some longtime employees make at Bay Shore.
The announcement is the latest in a decades-long series of manufacturing job losses on Long Island.
Entenmann's parent company Bimbo Bakeries is the U.S. arm of Mexico's Grupo Bimbo, which calls itself one of the world's largest baking companies.
Its American brands include Arnold, Boboli, Freihofer's, Sara Lee, Stroehmann and Thomas'.

Coldwater Creek files bankruptcy, to close all stores
365 stores 6,000 people.
The liquidators Gordon Brothers Retail Partners and Hilco Merchant Resources will manage the clearance sales.
Several U.S. retailers have filed for bankruptcy protection since late last year as consumers curb spending and visit malls less often.
Among those to file are pizza chain Sbarro LLC, and women's clothing retailers Ashley Stewart Holdings Inc, Dots LLC and Loehmann's Inc.
Dots and Loehmann's which have also decided to close.
