WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Stanley Black & Decker Inc. (SWK) has cut 1,000 finance jobs this week. The jobs cuts are part of the company's effort to cut up to $200 million in costs by year's end amid high inflation and slowing demand, the Wall Street Journal reported citing people familiar with the matter.
The reductions come as Stanley Black & Decker announced ambitious cost-cutting plans in July, including $1 billion in costs by the end of next year and $2 billion in the next three years, the Journal reported.
The company had 71,300 employees globally as of January 2022.
