Another 6,400 workers to lose jobs at HP
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Hewlett-Packard Co. is cutting 6,400 more workers -- or 2 percent of the company's total work force.
It will come over the next year as part of HP's huge acquisition of Electronic Data Systems.
Palo Alto, Calif.-based HP was already dumping 24,600 workers as part of that acquisition before announcing the extra cuts Tuesday.
The announcement came in a conference call with analysts to discuss HP's fiscal second-quarter results.
HP's profit dropped 17 percent to $1.72 billion, while sales fell 3 percent to $27.4 billion, in the latest period.
