WILMINGTON, OH – DECEMBER 18: Taylor Rolfe, age 4, sits in class as part of the Head Start early education program December 18, 2008 in Wilmington, Ohio. The federal government funds a set number of students in each county, but officials in Wilmington say that the demand has far outstripped resources available. The town of 12,000 is facing a bitter winter, as the main employers, the German shipping company DHL and its partner ABX are cutting more than 7,000 jobs. City officials say that the total number of jobs lost could reach almost 10,000, as smaller businesses tied to DHL and ABX close up. The massive layoffs are expected to devestate the economies of several counties surrounding the Wilmington hub. DHL is shutting down its domestic-only air and ground services in the United States, but will retain several thousands workers in the US to serve its international express customers.
