Carnival Lays Off Almost 1,000 Workers in Florida, With More Layoffs Coming in Other States

Despite the fact its cruise ships will resume sailing Aug. 1, Carnival (NYSE: CCL) is permanently laying off at least 820 employees in the state of Florida, while putting 537 more on furlough for six months as a cost-cutting move. Together, the terminations and furloughs add up to almost 46% of the 3,000 Carnival employees who work in the Sunshine State. More workers will also be laid off in California and Washington state, though Carnival has not yet indicated how many.
