Dow Chemical delivered the bad news on Tuesday that they would be cutting more than 700 jobs in Mid-Michigan.

Dow is one of the biggest employers in our area, but they are making changes due to a merger with DuPont.

The company wants to let the employees know what their status is as soon as possible, but as of now, nobody is certain if they are staying or going.  According to a statement released by Dow, they will begin notifying employees within the  next few weeks.

This is a huge blow to the people who have depended on Dow in Midland for their livelihood.  There are not many jobs in the area that pay as well as the Dow jobs did.

You can read more about the job cuts, and the future plans for Dow DuPont after the merger is completed.
