Who’s Firing - Layoffs week ended 10-29-10 - Page 2


Top Layoffs week ended 10-29:


Manufacturing topped the list, as United Technologies announced 2,000 layoffs to offset costs related to the shutdown of a jet engine overhaul facility, and Ford Foundry is laying off 300 Beech Park OH workers. Government was next as Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (a DOE contractor) announced it would layoff 1,400 workers by 2012 as it completes work under economic stimulus funds. New York State announced the layoff of 898 employees throughout New York State by year end.

Health care is feeling the pinch, as West Penn Allegheny Health System is cutting 400 Pittsburgh area workers. Aerospace company Hawker Beechcraft is letting go 350 Wichita workers, citing slowing demand for small airplanes.

Retailer CVS Caremark is cutting 300 customer service personnel at its Woonsocket RI facility. Finally, financial service firm DJSP Enterprises is laying off 300 mortgage workers in its Plantation FL offices.

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 10/25/10.

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