San Onofre nuclear plant closure will mean hundreds of layoffs

From Southern California Public Radio:
Southern California Edison says its closure of the troubled San Onofre Nuclear Generating
Station will force the company to lay off 900 workers in the next few months. Many
San Onofre workers live in Orange and San Diego counties. UC Irvine economics professor
Jan Brueckner says those who lose their jobs will cut back on spending. “Anything
a worker patronizes - a restaurant, Wal-Mart, or grocery stores. All retail establishments
would be impacted," Brueckner said.
