ATK layoffs ignored?

With another round of layoffs hitting ATK last week, where was the hubbub? I have yet to see anything garnering any sort of real attention, just two small blurbs. I realize the government is trying to push the positives regarding decreases in unemployment, but to ignore a major impact on our own community is negligible at best. At least one group is giving these employees hope. Primerica is hosting an open house to show people a better way. I'm not promoting the event here, you can look at the events page for that. I'm just trying to express my frustration that we aren't publicizing the extreme unemployment rates in the valley. With this 2nd round of layoffs at ATK, and the closing of LaZBoy, our valley is in turmoil. What is the local government doing about it? They can't even keep businesses in the historic district, let alone keep the attention of major manufacturing operations. Bring business to Cache Valley! Support the local economy. It can, and needs, to be done to preserve our way of life.
