Bayer to close site in Robinson by 2020, cut nearly 600 local positions

Quote
Global pharmaceutical giant Bayer Corp. announced Tuesday it is closing its Robinson campus within the next two years.
It will mean the loss of 569 jobs and 96 contractors, the company said in a statement.

The news shocked Robinson officials, but the Airport Area Chamber of Commerce believed Bayer employees could be hired by other companies in the area.

The company once touted its Robinson campus as its U.S. headquarters.

And what if they aren't?

Permanent well paying jobs are still hard to come by in western PA.

Yes, this is outside Pittsburgh, near the airport. This is a huge facility.

Bayer has another plant in Pennsylvania on the other side of the state, in Myerstown.

...I'll also note that the jobs being cut are white-collar jobs. Which is par for the course for the path our economy's taking.
