Truck brokerage giant C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc. laid off approximately 650 employees this week, the company confirmed Thursday. Sources close to the situation originally estimated the number would be closer to 1,000, possibly up to 1,200.
The move comes a week after the Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based company (NASDAQ: CHRW) reported weaker-than-expected, third-quarter results and strongly hinted at impending labor cost reductions to combat the impact of slowing demand and increased costs.
