CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Cargill is laying off 2,000 employees globally, citing a continued weak global economy.
Cargill, one of the world’s largest privately held corporations, said the cuts affect 1.5 percent of its workforce of 138,000 global workers and will happen over the next six months.
Cuts will be made on recommendations from various business units and are not across-the-board reductions.
