A Message From the Editor

Last week, PwC announced formal layoffs that will impact 1,800 workers in the U.S. or about 2.4% of its 75,000 employees. This restructure comes as a result of slowing demand of PwC's advisory business. "Ultimately, we are positioning our firm for the future, creating capacity to invest, and anticipating and reacting to the market opportunities of today and tomorrow," Paul Griggs, PwC's U.S. leader said in a memo.
