Nearly half of the new 1,000 Harley-Davidson job cuts will fall in Milwaukee.
The motorcycle maker announced Thursday it plans another round of layoffs as its second-quarter profit tumbled 91 percent on falling motorcycle shipments.
The latest round includes 700 hourly and 300 salaried positions.
Harley spokeswoman Rebecca Bortner says 480 jobs will be lost in Milwaukee by September, with the remaining cuts in Kansas City, Mo., and at Harley-Davidson Financial Services in Chicago.
Harley has been restructuring since the beginning of the year to cope with weaker sales. Demand for Harley's motorcycles have taken a pounding in the recession as consumers cut discretionary spending.
