Home Depot to slash 7,000 jobs

Home Depot, one of the largest retailers in home improvement products, announced Monday that it is shutting down its high-end decor EXPO business and decreasing its support staff, resulting in a total reduction of 7,000 jobs, around a two per cent reduction of its workforce.

“Exiting our EXPO business is a difficult decision, particularly given the hard work and dedication of our associates in that business and the support of our loyal customers,” said Frank Blake, Chairman and CEO. “At the same time, it is a necessary decision that will strengthen our core Home Depot business.”

The announcement comes as the company gets a grip of slowing demand due to the housing crunch and the general economic downturn.
