Latest in pharma layoffs

by @ 2:41 pm.  Filed under Pharma News, Pharma

Several additional lay-offs have come across my desk recently for the pharmaceutical industry and I thought I would list them.

Pfizer to cut 10,000 jobs in Japan
Dated 1st March it reallt deals with the issues Pfizer announced these back on Jan. 23.
Abbott cuts 200 scientists, hundreds of drug reps | Chicago Tribune
From a Feb 26th article that Abbott will be getting rid of 200 scientists mainly in drug discovery and an unspecified number of sales reps. Tje drug discovery units effected are early discovery, and metabolic research in areas such as obesity and diabetes.
delawareonline ¦ The News Journal ¦ 50 jobs to be cut at plant in Bear (near Newark, Delaware): AstraZeneca to shed 3,000 jobs by 2010.

Let’s hope that these trends don’t translate into much higher employment in the coming year.
