Mass Layoffs Slam Illinois as Hundreds Learn They’re Out of Work
This is not the kind of surprise you ever want especially in the tough times we live in. Hundreds in Illinois learned Tuesday that they have been laid off as supply chain companies are cutting back.
I saw Yahoo Finance share the troubling news saying that 600 were laid off Tuesday and most of them are in Illinois. Here are the companies and locations that just let hundreds go:
- Amazon Fulfillment Center - Chicago, Illinois - 211 laid off
- DHL Supply Chain - Aurora, Illinois - 106 laid off
- Genuine Parts Co. - Rockford, Illinois - 69 laid off
The transportation industry site Freight Waves confirmed these Illinois layoffs.
Freight Waves says these layoffs in Illinois happened because the companies were "reducing headcounts" and also closing facilities.
As this is a developing story, it will be updated once new information is provided as to why these layoffs have happened in so many Illinois places and why now.
