Aetna To Cut 2,750 Jobs

NU Online News Service, Sept. 26, 10:25 a.m. – Aetna Inc., Hartford, says it will spend $58 million to close facilities and eliminate 2,750 jobs, or about 9% of its 31,000 workforce, over the next year.

Aetna sold its international and financial services operations to the ING Groep N.V., Amsterdam, more than a year ago and has since been trying to prune money-losing accounts from its managed care business. Aetna now has about 14 million major medical members, one-third fewer than it had two years ago.
