Uber said Wednesday that it will cut 3,700 jobs due to a sharp decline in its ride-hailing business brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
Uber made the job cut announcement in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Uber said the positions being eliminated would come from its customer support and recruiting teams, and that it would incur about $20 million in severance and benefits costs related to the layoffs.
