Novartis to cut 280+ jobs in New Jersey

The pharma giant is axing 284 jobs in East Hanover, a township about 24 miles away from New York City. The cuts, which span Novartis Services, Novartis Pharmaceuticals and Novartis Corporation, take effect on Jan. 28, according to a notice posted last month in New Jersey’s state Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) system.
