Nike will eliminate 1,400 jobs, restructure

Posted Jun 18, 2017
Nike said Thursday morning it will cut its global workforce by 2 percent in a broad restructuring, a move seen as a reflection of the company's somewhat weakened competitive position and a sagging retail sector. Nike had 70,000 employees at the end of last year, so Thursday's announcement would work out to about 1,400 jobs altogether. (Oregon Live)
