from the Hewlett-Packard plant in Corvallis.The Corvallis Gazette-Times
says the funds will pay for skills assessment, counseling, case
management, job search assistance and relocation aid.The paper says
those services are in addition to assistance available under the Trade
Act of 1974, which helps American workers whose jobs are shipped
overseas or lost to foreign competition.The U.S. Labor Department
announced the grant Friday.For more information, visit
