100 jobs cut at U.S. Xerox locations

About 100 jobs were eliminated across Xerox Corp. Monday, including at the company's locations in Webster and Rochester.

The cuts primarily hit the company's Information Management and Finance groups, according to a company statement. The cuts come in the midst of an initiative to "make Xerox more efficient and responsive to our markets."

Impacted employees were located in the Rochester area, as well as in Oregon and Texas. Jobs in the United Kingdom were also affected, according to the statement.

Some employees were let go immediately, while others may stay on for a limited time before departing, said Xerox spokesman Bill Mckee.

Xerox reported a second-quarter profit of $166 million in early August. At that time, the company's stock had increased by 15 percent over the last 12 months.
