Chrysler cutting 1,825 jobs;
Chrysler will cut 1,825 jobs by eliminating one shift at a Toledo Jeep plant and accelerating the closure of its sport-utility vehicle factory in Newark, Del., because of the slowing economy and a shift toward smaller vehicles.
Chrysler LLC said Wednesday it will cut 1,000 salaried jobs worldwide by Sept. 30 as it tries to return to profitability amid a severe downturn in US sales.
