Walmart Inc will cut more than 2,000 jobs at five US e-commerce warehouses, Bloomberg reported on Monday.
The layoffs include more than 1,000 roles at a warehouse in Fort Worth, Texas, along with 600 jobs at a Pennsylvania fulfilment centre, 400 in Florida and 200 in New Jersey, the report said citing regulatory filings, with additional reductions planned in California.
