Perry Watson, Dayton

"I don't think that's right. People need jobs to pay their bills and feed their kids."

Thomas Visone, Dayton

"It's a bad thing in the recession. People are already short on money, and now all these people are going out into the economy without a job. The state will have to intercede somehow. It's unfortunate."

Nathan Stevens, Dayton

"It's too bad that all the businesses are leaving. I hope it turns around soon. I'm in real estate, so the better the businesses do, it's good for me. I'm stuck here and I'm not leaving."

Danny Stone, Dayton

"I'm getting ready to start (at GM) in Vandalia. I think it sucks."

Cinamon Houston, Dayton

"I'm shocked, I'm stunned. This is horrible news for the city of Dayton, and not just the actual workers. There's a ripple effect – everyone will lose all that business."

Michele King, Beavercreek

"I'm saddened for the workers losing jobs. It's affecting people least able to get another job. Salaried people are not being affected, it hits the lowest paid workers. It's unfair."

Latoya Wortham, Dayton

"Wow, first. Looking at the manufacturing history, it's been slowly phased out by technology. People are having to embrace that. We used to be the manufacturing capital."
