St. Jude Announces Layoffs In Restructuring Plan

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – In another blow to Minnesota's work force, St. Jude Medical has announced layoffs as part of a restructuring plan to deal with slumping sales.

St. Jude Medical is laying off about 500 employees as part of its restructuring. According to a Star Tribune report, about 100 of those positions are from the company's Minnesota office.

The move comes just three months after St. Jude made a different round of job cuts that eliminated about 300 workers.
