NEW YORK—Charles Schwab laid off about 5 percent to 6 percent of its workforce this week, according to a company spokesperson, as the financial services firm works to cut costs.

The company had 35,900 employees at the end of September, according to Charles Schwab’s latest quarterly report—meaning this week’s cuts could impact roughly 2,000 employees.
