Louisiana-Pacific shutting 30 mills, cutting 4,400 jobs

"Louisiana-Pacific, which makes lumber, pulp and building products, said it will sell several businesses and shed nearly half of its work force as part of a restructuring effort."

"The Portland-based company said it would trim 4,400 jobs - cutting its work force from 9,700 to 5,300. The moves would leave the company with 30 North America mills instead of 60."

"It is also selling 935,000 acres of timberland in three states - Idaho, Louisiana and Texas - and its plywood, industrial panels and lumber businesses."
