State Farm to lay off 136 in Earth City

ST. LOUIS BUSINESS JOURNAL -- State Farm will lay off 136 employees at its Earth City facility by Aug. 31, the company said in a letter to the state of Missouri.

The jobs are mostly in banking functions, the letter said.

None of the employees are represented by a union, it said, adding that the entire facility would not close.

A State Farm spokesman said in a statement,

"Last fall, State Farm began the process of reviewing the State Farm Bank structure. This effort was part of our continual process of looking for ways to evolve toward the future and better serve our customers. We recently communicated the result of that review: State Farm Bank employees will continue to be located in Bloomington, Ill.; Phoenix, Ariz.; and St. Louis, Mo.; with the majority of operations remaining in Bloomington. We currently have approximately 400 Bank employees at the facility in Earth City.

"We understand these changes can have a significant impact on our employees, and we have been communicating with them and providing resources to assist them throughout this period. Customers should not experience any interruptions in service as a result of these changes."
