Layoffs

Many hope to start a new year with goals and resolutions. Unfortunately, for hundreds in Illinois the start of the new year in 2025 will mean they will be without jobs.

Hundreds in Illinois learned Tuesday that they have been laid off as supply chain companies are cutting back.

Many companies are going through a bit of upheaval and Walgreens is definitely among them. They just announced a rash of layoffs including many store locations being closed and there's already one confirmed to shut their doors in Illinois.

The layoffs will be coming in October.

After over 60+ years, the Belvidere Assembly Plant will be closing its doors indefinitely on February 28th, 2023, leaving hundreds of employees without jobs. This news has come as a shock to many, as the plant has been a staple in the area for decades...

No official reason has been given for the shutdown, prior shutdowns were blamed on a lack of demand.

Deere & Company in Moline, Illinois made the announcement this afternoon. They will be laying off about 220 workers from its Seeding and Cylinder operation in its hometown as agricultural machinery sales slump. Here's when the layoffs will take effect.
