Berkshire Hathaway has shed more than 4,000 jobs

Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, has reduced its workforce by more than 4,000 jobs since the end of 2022, bringing the total number of employees down to 372,000 by the end of 2023. This reduction was influenced by the sale of businesses like the paint maker Benjamin Moore, which had about 2,000 employees, and the closure of a chemical plant in Texas. Despite these cuts, the company's operating profit saw a significant increase of 28% to $8.5 billion in the fourth quarter, driven by strong performances in insurance underwriting and investment income. However, the overall revenue for the quarter decreased by 7% to $169.9 billion, primarily due to lower investment income from its insurance operations.
