California-based mortgage lender LoanDepot has announced that it intends to lay off thousands of workers as the company deals with “rapidly changing market conditions.”

LoanDepot is aiming to generate about $375 million to $400 million in “annualized savings” by the end of 2022 by adopting measures like headcount reduction, the company said in a July 12 regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
