NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is laying off about 325 employees, or 5% of its workforce, as the California-based research and development center deals with funding challenges for the upcoming year.
“With lower budgets and based on the forecasted work ahead, we had to tighten out belts across the board and you will see that reflected in the layoff impacts,” Laurie Leshin, director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, wrote in a memo sent to employees Tuesday.
