We Have a Number: Chesapeake Laid Off 10% of Workforce – 80 People

Yesterday, MDN brought you the news that Chesapeake Energy, with its headquarters in Oklahoma City, OK, had begun a round of layoffs, supposedly (according to Chesapeake) due to the company divesting from Eagle Ford oil assets (see Chesapeake Energy Brings Out the Ax, Begins Cutting Jobs). Yesterday, we did not know how many people were let go. Today, we have that information courtesy of the company's hometown newspaper, The Oklahoman. Chesapeake laid off 10% of its workforce, which amounts to around 80 people.
