Nationwide Insurance to Eliminate More Jobs in Neb.

November 1, 2007

A company’s national realignment will cost Lincoln about 90 jobs over the next 12 to 18 months.

Nationwide Insurance spokesman Eric Hardgrove says the company and its affiliate Allied Insurance have 727 employees in Lincoln.

He says attrition could take care of the cutbacks, but the company also will try to move workers to other company positions in Lincoln.

He says the cutbacks are being made to improve efficiency and save money.

The customer service work being done in Lincoln will be moved to San Antonio, to Des Moines, Iowa; and Columbus, Ohio.

Hardgrove says the 90-job cutback is in addition to the 50 Lincoln jobs Nationwide has said it would be cutting over the next three years. Those cuts were announced in July.
