When the government began to exam US military bases it decided we had more than we needed. Closings may have been made somewhat on a partisan basis but, regardless of how choices were made, few questioned that more were draining our financial resources than were needed. Those were not the only choices which gave us collateral damage. Changes in the way business is done, outsourcing closing down large manufacturing facilities, new highways that put business out as they were now on by-ways and went bankrupt, are but a few. Just as there is a food chain among animals, there are chains of businesses that feed an industry, a Mall, a profession (there aren't blacksmiths locally in urban areas to shoe horses any more), door-to-door salesmen, icemen, many people have had to force early retirement or find another line of work. Teachers a few years ago went into computer work, nursing and other jobs.
So it will be forever only changes are happening faster than they ever did, not allowing people enough time to retrain or regroup.

Resolution Copper said most of those workers will be Arizonans. The mine will also create about 2,300 non-direct jobs, including contractors who supply fuel, tires, cement and steel, company officials said… New businesses, such as restaurants, also would be expected to open to serve the workers, according to a report commissioned by the company."
