CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 24 (UPI) -- A Bank of America spokesman said the U.S. financial giant was cutting jobs to match a reduction in delinquent loan processing and lower refinancing demand.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that 1,200 employees have already been informed their jobs are ending. The bank intends to cut 3,000 jobs in the fourth quarter to keep in step with slow demand for refinancing and a smaller delinquent loan portfolio, the Journal said.
