(London Daily Mail) Wal-Mart Stores Inc said on Thursday it will cut about 7,000 back-office jobs, mostly in accounting and invoicing positions at its US stores, continuing a program it announced in June of cutting such jobs on the West Coast.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Deisha Barnett said the company will now cut back-office workers in all its approximately 4,600 stores over the next several months.
The announcement made no impact on Wal-Mart’s stock price, which opened at $71.57 Thursday and was up by $1.28 Thursday afternoon.
