With the loss of 140 manufactoring jobs, the Freudenberg factory in Laconia is scheduled to close due to the big drop in sales of pickup trucks and SUV's. Freudenberg makes car parts,

So, where can the 140 employees go to find replacement union manufactoring jobs?
Who's hiring? Not Molex in Gilford. Not Packard in Ashland. Not Anna Lee in Meredith. Not Norton Pike in Littleton. Not Wasau Paper in Groveton. Not Hitchener in Littleton. They have closed.
Maybe at the huge new federal prison being built, up north, in Berlin? Goodbye manufactoring.....hello new prison....how's that for a message?
