Panasonic is projecting a net loss of ¥380 billion or $4.2 billion for the year ending March 31st.

Computer maker NEC is cutting 20,000 jobs. Hitachi, Toshiba and Sony have all also recently announced thousands of job cuts.

Panasonic is shutting 13 manufacturing sites in Japan and 14 abroad by the end of March. It also plans to lay off about 15,000 workers, or 5% of its work force, by March 2010. Half of the cuts will be made in Japan.

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.

Only TravelingCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the domain and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place.

  • We have more jobs than any other job board.
  • We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites
  • We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
  • We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
EmploymentCrossing is great because it brings all of the jobs to one site. You don't have to go all over the place to find jobs.
