Arkansas-based Acxiom Corporation is laying
off a number of workers this week. A source tells The Associated
Press today that the changes are coming as the company adjusts to
recent acquisitions and accounts for changes in the economy. The
source says the layoffs began last week and could continue into
next week. The number of workers involved was said to be less than
500.
The company has 4,500 employees in Arkansas and another
thousand worldwide.
Acxiom said it would not respond to what it called rumors. It
also would not say today whether it had any layoffs planned.
In 2001, the company laid off about seven percent of its
workforce.
