Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>American video game retailer GameStop has cut an unspecified number of jobs due to weak sales in the final quarter of last year.<\/p>\n

The consumer electronics and gaming merchandise retailer has approximately 8,000 full-time workers globally, in addition to between 13,000-18,000 part-time hourly workers depending on the time of year, it said late Wednesday in a statement.<\/p>\n

The company saw its sales decrease 20.2% to around $1.78 billion in its fiscal fourth quarter that ended on Feb. 3, compared to almost $2.23 billion in the same period of the previous year.<\/p>\n

GameStop’s stock price was down 2.9% at 10.36 a.m. EDT Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n

Dozens of companies in the US technology sector have been cutting jobs since the final quarter of last year as they struggle with lower income and falling advertisement revenue.<\/p>\n

Expedia, DocuSign, Snap, Uber, Reddit, Disney, 3M, Amazon, Yahoo, Affirm, Zoom, Dell, IBM, Microsoft, Salesforce, PayPal, and Google’s parent company Alphabet have laid off workers by the thousands since the last quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n
