Here is yet another story about cutbacks in the defense war industry. The citizensvoice.com has the details:

Tobyhanna Army Depot will lay off up to 130 contract workers starting next week.

Tobyhanna, the region's largest employer, cited decreasing work volumes in the announcement of the furloughs, which begin April 13.
