Those are all salaried jobs. They probably allow managers to rank the
salaried employees and cut those with the lowest ranking. It does not really
reduce the people on the shop floor operating the manufacturing equipment.
On the other hand, they probably should not cut the people in the high
turnover disciplines because they will empty out on their own.

 

And some not so good news on the manufacturing front:
