How is a city affected when 500 workers lose their jobs?

We are talking here about 500 employees losing their jobs in London, Ontario after Caterpillar decided to shut down its locomotive plant.

500 employees, 500 families, between 1,500 / 2,000 people affected directly and so many more affected indirectly.

How is the community responding? how will they pay their mortgages? groceries?

There is no easy answer to a complex situation.
