Job cuts in Columbus

Pratt & Whitney has cut 55 jobs at its jet engine and repair business, the Columbus Engine Center. The Connecticut-based company says the cuts are a result of a reduction in the volume of engine overhauls. Earlier this year, the company conducted a voluntary separation program for workers at least age 60 with 10 years of continuous service.
