SCHAUMBURG, IL -- Motorola will lay off an
additional 4,000 jobs, 3,000 from its hard-hit mobile-device business, as it struggles to regain its balance.
The company also said it expects December quarter sales of $7 billion and $7.2 billion, below the Wall Street consensus of $7.5 billion
The company, which laid off 3,000 workers in the fourth quarter, said the moves are among several cost-cutting measures that will save $1.2 billion annually.
