Before she lost her job two years ago, Delany Henderson had no idea where Singapore was. She learned in a hurry. It was then that low-cost foreign competition forced AT&T to close its residential telephone factory, the last of its kind in the United States, and move the operation to the tiny island nation in Southeast Asia. AT&T began streamlining its business phones facility here at the same time and Henderson was one of more than 3,000 people who abruptly found themselves unemployed.

Under the glare of a radiant moon one recent night, about a dozen residents of this city's Cedar Grove area marched along the uncurbed asphalt streets of their neighborhood. And with posters in their hands declaring "Christ + You = Love Not Drugs," they bellowed spirituals with a fervor fit for a Sunday service. For more than 160 consecutive nights, this has been the scene on the mean streets of Cedar Grove.

General Motors Co. is suspending production of Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks at a factory in Shreveport, La., for at least one week starting Monday because of a shortage of parts coming from Japan. About 900 employees work at the plant. The workers will file for state unemployment benefits and will also receive some supplemental pay from GM that will bring their income to about 70% of their regular wages, according to the automaker. All of the major Japanese automakers have suspended production in Japan because of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit the island nation last week, but GM's closure was the first indication that damage to the auto parts supply chain would affect production in the United States.
