Construction Slump Hits Husqvarna

Swedish outdoor-machinery maker Husqvarna AB Tuesday warned that its operating income for the third quarter will be “substantially lower than in the previous year” and that it will cut 850 jobs. The company said it is suffering from lower sales of its consumer products in North America and Europe and its products aimed at the construction industry.
