MetLife sending jobs south

(3/10/13) New York based MetLife has recently announced it will be relocating approximately 2,600 jobs from throughout the country to Charlotte and Carey North Carolina. Although not confirmed, a source has told the Hartford Courant the consolidation will cost Bloomfield about 650 jobs (see attached article – MetLife to cut 650 jobs in Bloomfield). That is roughly one third of the Bloomfield workforce.
