On September 29, Disney announced that in response to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on its business, it has decided to lay off 28,000 employees in the US theme park department. In addition to California Park, other Disney theme parks have reopened. However, due to concerns about hygiene and health risks, people have reduced their entry to the park, which has dragged down the number of visitors to Disneyland.
Josh D’Amaro, head of Disney’s theme park business, pointed out that in the face of difficult business conditions, the only decision to lay off employees was made. He disclosed that 67% of the dismissed employees are part-time workers.
