Abbott Labs is cutting 1,000 jobs - Will your company cut your job next?

Abbott Laboratories plans to cut 1,000 jobs as part of a restructuring of its diagnostic business.

Once the plan is implemented it is expected to produce more than $150 million in annual pre-tax savings, the company said.

North Chicago-based Abbott said cuts will be made globally, but declined to say how many jobs in will be cut locally. “We’re addressing excess capacity, reducing costs and improving efficiencies.”
