Layoffs begin at AP

美联启动3年来最大裁员

Layoffs began Tuesday at The Associated Press (AP), as part of a plan to reduce its global payroll by 10% this year. Twenty jobs were cut at AP headquarters in New York, and management has not yet said how many will be dismissed in all. The layoffs were the largest since 2006.

作为其2009年全球裁员10%计划的一部分，美联社17日起开始裁员，纽约总部已有20人被解雇。管理层尚未就裁员总数发布任何声明。据悉，此次裁员计划是自2006年人数最多的一次。
