Post Views 9Johnson & Johnson is cutting 900 jobs in one of its pharmaceutical units, about 6% of its US pharmaceutical positions.
The cuts will mostly affect sales representatives in the Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals unit. Some workers will be laid off, while other jobs will be eliminated through attrition and hiring freezes.
