146 Workers To Be Laid Off At Joerns Plant In Stevens Point (Wisconsin)

This was yet another mass layoff story from the healthcare industry. Here is a local Wisconsin radio station with the (admittedly few) details:

A Stevens Point medical supply company announced they'd be laying off 146 employees.

Reports say Joerns Healthcare will start those layoffs in June. The department of workforce development announced the mass layofffs today. Joerns said in a statement back in January that the jobs in Stevens Point would be moving out of state to Texas, Mexico and Arkansas.

The company says it will keep several employees in Point to provide customer and technical support and to design and develop products.

And so it goes.
