PNC National City

In February 2009, PNC Financial Corporation announced it will cut about 10 percent of its workforce, or about 5,800 employees by 2011. They include about 4,000 job cuts that National City Corporation announced in October 2008 before the acquisition. The announcement came as PNC reported its first loss since 2001, in the forth quarter of 2008, a loss partly due to costs of integrating of National City Corporation into the company.WKRC-TV: PNC, Fidelity Announcing Layoffs (February 3, 2009) Bloomberg: PNC Shares Fall as Bank Reports First Loss Since ’01, Job Cuts(February 3, 2009)
