John Deere is prepping for more big layoffs in two states that will leave 610 staffers without their jobs on August 30.
Per the recent Fox report, “About 100 production employees at the company’s Dubuque, Iowa, plant will also be impacted.” “Earlier this month, Deere announced it is moving the manufacturing of skid steer loaders and compact track loaders from its Dubuque facility to Mexico by the end of 2026,” the report said.The move is expected to be completed during the 2024 fiscal year. The number of employees affected will depend on where the business is with respect to production volumes, employee attrition over the next two years, and new product program needs.
A worker who took early retirement, 53-year-old Chris Laursen, said smaller communities feel the loss of their jobs acutely because there are not many options for work.
