The NJ Department of Labor has posted last month's listings for upcoming job layoffs on its website, and it's not a pretty picture.
The monthly total comes to 2,577 jobs cuts, with more than half coming from two hospitals slated to close, Columbus Hospital in Newark and Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center in Plainfield. Financial services firm JPMorgan Chase and logistics company Hapag-Lloyd also make appearances.
Under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, employers are required to give 60 days notice of mass layoffs at worksites. Most of the notices from April are for layoffs that will take place in June.
