Economy Deeper cuts at Whirlpool

Posted By Gerard Matthews on Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 7:58 AM

We reported here yesterday that Whirlpool in Ft. Smith would be cutting 25 jobs. The City Wire says it's much more than that. Around 65 jobs will be gone by the end of August. This is all in addition to 40 jobs which were cut earlier in July.
