Pharmaceutical maker Pfizer to cut 300 jobs in Lincoln..

From the W-H piece:

'Nearly half of the job losses will happen in the next four months, said Rick Saffee, director of Pfizer's Lincoln operations. Lincoln's biological clinical operation will be consolidated with a facility in St. Louis, he said.'..

And:

'Lincoln Mayor Coleen Seng said she had no warning that the company was going to make the cuts. She said her concern now was finding jobs for the affected workers'..

Yeah I have to say I was really caught off guard with this one, this is a very significant loss for Lincoln.

Well I guess they can all get jobs in Omaha now and up that commuter threshhold. Look on the bright side (for Omaha)
