Today, Microsoft announced that it will lay off up to 7,800 employees, the Associated Press reports. Most of the jobs will be cut from the smartphone hardware business.

Microsoft did not immediately announce the locations from which the majority of the jobs will be cut or how it will affect Washington workers.
