DALLAS -- Electronic Data Systems Corp. could cut 15,000 to 20,000 jobs -- up to one-sixth of its work force -- over about two years to help reduce costs by about $3 billion, chief executive Michael H. Jordan said Thursday.
"The next two years, there are going to be a lot of change in EDS," Jordan said at an investor conference in New York. "But that will, as I said, take 20 percent out of our cost structure -- $3 billion out."
EDS runs computer systems for other companies. It has struggled with money-losing contracts, a downturn in corporate technology spending and debt downgrades.
