Cambellsville, KY and Amazon.com

Lisa speaks with John Chowning, Vice President of Church and External relations at Campbellsville University in Campbellsville Kentucky about some of the things a town goes through when a factory shuts down. Two years ago the small town lost its largest employer, Fruit of the Loom, but some of the jobs were replaced by Amazon.com. In the last few weeks, residents there have been facing the fear once again of potential job loss, but so far the town has escaped job cuts, at least for now. (5:30).
