Looks like the economy is hitting everyone as now Nokia is to shed staff as well. Nokia has announced they will close their Jybaskyla site in Finland and are also to scale down production via Salo also in Finland.

The Jyvaskyla site employs roughly 320 people, most of which will be laid off and Nokia will then concentrate their R&D activity through Helsinki, Salo, Tampere and Oulu.

Salo presently employs 2500 people, and Nokia intends to reduce production by way of temporary lay offs of approximately 20 to 30 percent.
