Morgan Stanley Cuts 1,000 Mortgage Related Jobs

Morgan Stanley (MS), the investment firm, is cutting 1,000 jobs in it’s United States and British mortgage departments. The reason is that slowing demand has created excess capacity in these departments.

The move affects 1,000 jobs in the United States and Britain, and will lead to the discontinuation of the British-based residential mortgage lending business Advantage Home Loans.
