Even though
new claims for jobless benefits fell
last week to 550,000 and continued claims fell to 6.088 million, financial institutions are still laying off employees. The latest reports and rumors of layoffs are at Van der Moolen, American International Group Inc.'s (NYSE:AIG) AIG Advisor Group and Nyfix Inc.
- Van der Moolen, the Dutch broker, filed for bankruptcy. The firm will be liquidating.
- AIG Advisor Group announced it will cut jobs in its back office, eliminating around 40 positions, according to Financial Planning.
- Nyfix just sold itself to NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX), but 40% of its workers will be out of work when the deal closes in the fourth quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Even though several companies are laying off employees, several are also hiring. Check our job opening
