Merck is axing jobs but others are hiring! Check it out! (Isn’t it tempting?)
The drugmaker Merck & Co. will lay off 500 people from its facility in West Point, Montgomery County, between Dec. 23 and Jan. 5. Merck said on Oct. 1 that it would eliminate 8,500 jobs from its worldwide workforce beyond the 7,500 it had not yet cut from an earlier restructuring plan, but company officials were not specific about where and when. Several big pharmaceutical companies with operations in the area are cutting jobs.
Don’t forget, hundreds of biopharma companies are hiring! (We know you can’t resist.)
