Shell to cut further 2,200 jobs from global workforce as oil price remains low

Oil giant Shell has said it will slash a further 2,200 jobs from its global workforce as it expects the oil price to remain "lower for longer".

The firm said the move would bring the total number of staff and direct contractor roles being cut from the company from the start of 2015 to the end of this year to 12,500, up from its previous target of 10,300.
