Porsche says it will cut about 25% of its workforce as falling profits weigh on the German sports car maker. The announcement, reported by the New York Times, comes amid weak demand linked to China and broader pressures across the Volkswagen group, which owns the brand. The scale of the layoffs has drawn widespread attention to the strains facing Germany's auto industry.
Why now: The unusually deep job cuts at an iconic luxury carmaker signal serious trouble in the auto industry, making it a major business story.
