Walt Disney Co. officials said a second round of layoffs started on April 24 as the company presses ahead with its objective of trimming roughly 3 percent of its 220,000-strong global workforce in a bid to rein in costs.
The latest round of job cuts will affect employees across the United States, where the company employs about 166,000 people, Burbank, California-based Disney said in a statement to media outlets.
