Apple laid off 10% of its Apple Store employees, as the rapid expansion of its retail presence collides with the global economic slowdown.

1,600 workers were laid off, though the Cupertino tech company reported a sales gain in the last quarter, though only a gain of 2%. However, no store closures are planned.
