FRAMINGHAM, MA -- Bose Corp. will lay off about 1,000 employees, or 10% of its global workforce, the company said yesterday.

The company, which is privately held, declined to specify where or how many workers would be cut from its various operations but did say the cuts are in "select areas, including manufacturing." 

In a statement, Bose said it was "restructuring its operations in response to the decline of the global economy, and its impact on consumer spending."
