Layoffs at Bank of America Corp’s mortgage business will amount to about 2,100 positions, a source told Reuters on Monday, in response to weak refinancing activity.
The downsizing reflects the second-largest U.S. bank’s “ongoing efforts to streamline our facilities and align our cost structure with market realities,” Bank of America said in a statement in response to questions about the planned layoffs, the total number of which was first reported by Bloomberg on Monday.
Bank of America workers in states such as Ohio, Florida and Virginia received notice of planned layoffs in late August, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported. About 1,000 of the workers to be laid off are based in the Cleveland, Ohio area, according to local filings. A person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday that about 2,100 jobs in total would be eliminated.
