Principal Lays Off 75 in Asset Management

Principal Financial has laid off 75 people in asset management, most of them from its Des Moines headquarters.

The cuts come on top of the 550 people, or 3.5% of the workforce, who lost their jobs in December, and the 2% to 10% reduction in salaries in March.

“We’ve adapted to changes as business opportunities have continued to decline over recent months,” said a company spokeswoman.
