Kohl's cuts 15% of corporate workforce
Retailer says job cuts would likely save it about $65 million in annual expenses
Former Toys ‘R’ Us CEO Gerald Storch discusses Target’s slowing online retail growth and the future of Kohl’s.
Kohl's Corp said on Tuesday it has cut about 15% of its corporate jobs as the department store operator looks to save cash at a time when the COVID-19 has hammered demand for its products.
The company said the job cuts would likely save it about $65 million in annual expenses, and were part of its broader plan to reduce costs by more than $100 million.
