Who’s Firing - Layoffs week ended 10-15-10 - Page 2

Top Layoffs week ended 10-15:

Government topped the list, as the State of New York announced 2,000 layoffs as the state continues struggling to meet its budget. Insurance was next as Aon announced 1,500-1,800 job cuts worldwide and US Fidelis had cutbacks of 663 employees in Missouri.

Manufacturing company Quad Graphics laid off 700+ workers as it closes its Dyersberg TN plant, while Avon is closing its Springdale OH plant, cutting 400 staff. Pharmaceuticals company Sanofi-Aventis announced more layoffs as the company is closing its Malvern PA plant affecting 412 workers.

Health Care rounded out the list as UMass Memorial Health Care is laying off 350 employees.

Inclusion on this listing doesn’t mean the entire industry is down, as some from the same sectors appeared on the “Who’s Hiring” article published 10/11/10.

Job seekers: You might want to look in greener pastures than these companies.
