J&J announces layoffs at New Brunswick headquarters

This week, Johnson & Johnson Services announced it will be laying off 231 employees at its New Brunswick, New Jersey location, according to a recent WARN notice. The layoffs are set to take place between December 12 and December 27, 2024.

While Johnson & Johnson hasn’t provided many specifics about which departments will be impacted, the layoffs are part of the company’s efforts to streamline its workforce and focus on areas of growth.

As one of the biggest names in the pharma industry, Johnson & Johnson’s decision to downsize points to a broader trend in the pharma, as companies continue to reassess their operations and look for ways to cut costs. — Andrea Corona
