What happened
Nearly 1,400 workers were laid off from the Navistar truck factory in southwestern Ohio. The job losses occurred just three days before a rally held by Donald Trump in the area. The factory closures are noted to be large enough to erase a year of job growth in the greater Dayton, Ohio, area.
