Nissan to Cut 9,000 Jobs Globally, 1,000 US Staff to Retire Early
Reuters reported yesterday (November 21st) that Nissan Motor spokesperson announced plans to lay off 9,000 people worldwide, with about 6% of US employees accepting an early retirement package.
According to Reuters, in the latest disclosed documents, as of March of this year, the total number of employees in the United States is about 17,000, meaning approximately 1,000 people will leave Nissan.
Due to declining sales in China and North America, Nissan announced this month that in addition to global layoffs, it will reduce manufacturing capacity by 20% and lower its annual profit expectations by 70%.
Nissan's series of measures indicate that the automotive industry is facing a severe market environment, and companies must take decisive actions to maintain operations.
