GROVETON, N.H. - The government is sending special unemployment aid to laid off workers at a lumber company in Groveton (New Hampshire) and paper mill workers expected to lose their jobs next month in Gorham.

The program helps workers who lose jobs because of foreign competition or trade. It offers job training and counseling, job search help and health insurance costs.
