In Martinsville Virginia, where sewing was serious -- needles stand idle, and factory floors are bare.

Since September, more than 3-thousand workers have lost their jobs -- unemployment has sky rocketed to nearly 20 percent -- leaving a work force to sweat it out, in a town once dubbed the sweatshirt capital of the world.

(SOT/BEVERLY ADKINS, WORKER )
"It's not good. I'll try to find a job and make my mortgage payments, make ends meat. I lost my husband back in September and it ain't been easy." (sobs)

Here, as all over the country, manufacturing plants are moving to where the workers are cheap. Hampton Industries used to pay about 8 dollars an hour. It now hires workers in El Salvador for less than $5 dollars a DAY.

(SOT/JUDY COGGINS, PLANT MANAGER )
"We can't compete. We just can't compete with those prices."

Hampton Industries is only the latest to close its doors and may not be the last.

"Lee: So what are you going to do? What can you do? A: I don't know. I don't know."

(COWAN ON CAM )
"The situation has gotten so dire, the city is even willing to GIVE AWAY land, to ANY company willing to take it, as long as they agree to invest in the community and hire at least 300 workers -- workers who without this deal coming through, may have to move somewhere else."

(NARR)
The city admits it's a risky plan...but the state of Virginia turned a deaf ear to its pleas for financial aid.

(SOT/EARL REYNOLDS, MARTINSVILLE CITY MANAGER 11:52:22)
"WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF , YOU KNOW, IT'S FIRST AND TEN AND YOU'RE ON THE FIVE YARD LINE. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO THROW AWAY THE PLAY BOOK!"

And there are already signs the strategy is working. One company is moving into the very same building left behind by another plant.
Martinsville's hard working people don't want a handout...they want jobs.
