From WEAU TV-13:
Hundreds of layoffs are moving from temporary to permanent at Jeld-Wen windows in Rusk County.
The company notified the state that 247 people will lose their jobs. The plant, in Hawkins, has been temporarily laying off workers since the start of the year.
Now Jeld-Wen says the slumping economy is forcing it to make the layoffs permanent since it can't bring the workers back within six months. The layoffs are effective in July.
The layoffs hit hard in Rusk County, where it has the highest unemployment rate in the state at more than 16%.
