Samsung Electronics America to reduce workforce by 739 in New Jersey, WARN notice says

A $60B Vote of Confidence

Samsung Electronics America is reducing its workforce by 739 jobs in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) reviewed by Reuters. This move is part of the company's plan to relocate its headquarters to Texas from New Jersey by the end of this year.

The WARN notice is required by U.S. law when employers issue mass layoffs or close plants. Samsung said in a statement to Reuters that the unit, which is focused on consumer electronics and does not include its semiconductor business, was preparing to relocate its headquarters to Texas from New Jersey by the end of this year.

"This process may lead to changes in our workforce structure, such as employees who are unable to relocate, or certain functions that are optimized to ensure our roles align to key business priorities," the statement said. The statement said most affected employees in New Jersey had been offered relocation opportunities and that it was incorrect to characterize the changes as layoffs.

It is worth noting that Samsung Electronics America handles sales and marketing of Samsung Electronics' displays, phones, TVs, and home appliances in the United States, and employs about 1,200 workers in New Jersey, according to a September press release by U.S. Representative Josh Gottheimer, whose district includes Englewood Cliffs.

The reduction in workforce by Samsung Electronics America may have implications for the US economy and the technology industry. The company's decision to relocate its headquarters to Texas may also have an impact on the local economy in New Jersey.
