JPMorgan Chase to cut 440 jobs
columbus
JPMorgan Chase & Co. will cut about 440 jobs in the next three months, mostly at its central Ohio offices in the suburbs north of Columbus.
The announcement comes weeks after the bank announced 300 cuts. Like other banks, it says fewer employees are needed to handle mortgage services as that market has changed.
The Columbus Dispatch reports most of the workers affected by the latest round of cuts can apply for the company’s roughly 600 job openings in the Columbus area. The bank isn’t yet sure how many of the workers affected by last month’s cuts have new jobs with the company. Chase is a large employer in central Ohio, where it has almost 20,000 workers. It announced last spring that it’s adding about 500 jobs in Dublin.

Temporary layoffs at Jeep plant
toledo
About 500 workers have been laid off temporarily from a northwest Ohio plant that produces the new Jeep Cherokee.
Transmission reprogramming and extra test-driving delayed shipment of the vehicles, and inventory from the Toledo facility has accumulated, so some second-shift workers have been idled. The layoffs are expected to last about two weeks.
