Swiss Banking Firm Cuts 200 Jobs in U.S.

The large Swiss banking firm UBS has cut around 200 jobs in their U.S. brokerage unit.

Despite the seemingly large number of layoffs, this amounts to a mere 1.2% of the brokerage unit’s 16,295 employees.

Most of the cuts happened on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

This past year has seen several workers leave the company, taking both clients and assets with them. Nearly $10 billion in assets have been removed from the company in the third quarter, the period that contains the most current financial data available.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
