Why did Oshkosh Corporation cut jobs?

Oshkosh Corporation cited a structural realignment to bring its costs and management layers in line with its current business volume. In its own words: "This was a structural realignment to bring our cost structure and organizational layers in line with current business volume -- it was not connected to any program or proposal effort," ... "We sized this action specifically to address our structural issues in one move. We are not anticipating further reductions at this time." (Oshkosh Corporation, in a statement to WLUK (FOX 11)).

Is Oshkosh Corporation in the AI layoffs register?

No. The register records job cuts that the employer linked to AI, or that a credible outlet or a named analyst linked to AI. Oshkosh Corporation's cuts were checked against that rule and left out, so they are not counted in the index or in any of the register's figures.
