Whirlpool cutting 5,000 jobs
Appliance maker Whirlpool Corp. plans to cut 5,000 jobs, about 10 percent of its work force in North America and Europe, as it faces soft demand and higher costs for materials.
Windstream Corp. says it is cutting 350 jobs, or nearly 5 percent of its work force, in part to balance out declining revenue in its residential voice unit.
