CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. — More than 100 jobs are being cut at a Walmart optical lab in western Indiana.

The company has notified the Indiana Department of Workforce Development that 108 people were told this week to stop reporting to work at the Crawfordsville facility, although they will continue to be paid until late September.

The facility made prescription eyeglasses.

Walmart officials reportedly blamed changes in the market as the reason for the layoffs, which also took place at other optical lab locations.
