More OKC workers lose employment due to COVID-19 pandemic

 

Seventy-five workers at an Oklahoma City restaurant are among the latest to be sent to the unemployment lines because of the coronavirus pandemic. They join tens of thousands of energy workers who also lost their jobs because of the spread of COVID-19.

Oklahoma’s Office of Workforce Development was notified of the layoff of the workers at the P.F. Chang China Bistro located at 13,700 N. Pennsylvania Avenue in the city.

“The reduction of work hours at this location are the unfortunate result of sudden, unexpected COVID-19-related circumstances that were conditions outside of the company’s control and for which the continued duration is still unknown,” wrote Kim Murdock, Human Resources Business Partner for the company.
