(Reuters) – Lowe's Cos Inc is laying off about 1,700 middle managers across the United States, the country's second-largest home-improvement chain said.
The news comes as home improvement chains focus on cutting costs to tackle tepid demand for expensive renovations in a slowly recovering. U.S. economy.

Hussein must be thrilled. That mortgage recovery plan is kickin’ in.
Hope and Change. I hope they lay off that lazy b**ch at my local Lowes.
Looks like Lowes didn’t hire(or pay off) enough Politicians and Mexicans like Home Depot did. Therefore THEY MUSH be punished!
I just remember the nonstop talking down of the economy throughout the Bush years. The media makes me sick.
Jobs are 0’s #1 priority.
WRECK-overy
I’ve only had one problem with a sales person at Lowe’s and I don’t think he is there any longer. I enjoy shopping at Lowe’s. I call it my toy store. I have found their employees more than helpful and very knowledgeable. I can’t say the same about Home Depot.
Can you just imagine how bad it would be if Zero wasn’t “focusing in like a laser beam on jobs”? /s
My local Lowes is always nearly empty. Menards and Home Depot seem to be weathering the storm better.
But, it sounds like they're either demoting or getting rid of 1700 people that tell people to work, and ramping up their hourly / part-time staff.
Saves them $$$ and sounds like it puts bodies on the floor. Might be a good idea.
You like saving that ‘big money’ eh?
Hot Damn Obamanomics is finally kickin in. This is going to be worse than Carter.
The Kenyan is putting everyone on the bread line.
We had better hope every B**chstays employed.
Well, that is really too bad. We recently had our entire kitchen remodeled with all Lowes appliances and countertops. We were thrilled with the excellent service at all stages of the remodel. The Lowes employees we dealt with couldn’t have been more friendly, helpful and competent.
Thank you Mr Hussein Obummy for saving all those jobs. I hope your commie ass can sleep well.
I’ll shop at Lowe’s over Homo Depot any day and Lowe’s offers a military discount to veterans.
People can’t afford to buy a house.
Now people can’t even afford to ‘fix up’ a house!
Another good commercial for 2012.
I’ve noticed that too, why is ‘dat?{others doing better than Lowes?
