• Published 7 minutes ago
**Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is to cut 4,000 jobs as the carmaker struggles with Chinese competition, US tariffs, and the transition to electric vehicles.**
The cuts will happen over the next two years and are expected to mostly affect office roles.
JLR's long-term issues were made worse after a cyber-attack last year caused it to shut down production for more than a month.
Chief executive PB Balaji said the firm was "committed to supporting everyone with care, fairness and respect" through the redundancy process.

How will they retrain these workers for EV manufacturing? No government plan mentioned at all.
4,000 office jobs? More like a corporate trim, not factory cuts. Still, families suffer either way.
This is sad but predictable. Chinese EVs are winning on price and tech while JLR lags behind.
