pinkslips_transparent_125x100.gifThere's more bad news for bankers Monday. Financial services companies in the U.K. could cut up to 13,000 jobs in the third quarter, according to Bloomberg. Some of those layoffs include reports that the London Stock Exchange plc is laying off staff. Other reports and rumors of layoffs around the globe are said to be happening at HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE:HBC), Integra Bancorp and Voyageur Asset Management Inc.

  • The LSE will cut 60 positions in London. More layoffs are expected in Italy at the group's Borsa Italiana unit, and layoffs are also expected as a result of the LSE dropping its TradElect electronic trading system, according to the Financial Times.
  • HSBC Private Banking in Singapore has axed 20 jobs. The cuts were in marketing and investments, according to AsiaOne Business.
  • Voyageur Asset Management is cutting its active U.S. large-cap and midcap growth equity strategies and laying off 30 employees, according to Pensions and Investments.
It's a tough employment market for financial professionals, but there are jobs as companies are hiring. In fact, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and Macquarie Capital Advisory Opportunities are reported to be hiring. Here's our pick of the day from The Deal's Career Channel:
