CNBC laid off eight workers at CNBC.com, sources told the Post.

A spokesman confirmed Friday the Comcast-owned business-news operation was “re-allocating resources” but noted it also made two hires earlier in the week.

The idea, according to those familiar with CNBC’s plans, is to staff up with multiplatform talent experienced in print, television and digital media — “people with strong TV production and digital skills,” a source said.

CNBC has about 600 US employees; the eight it let go on Friday all worked out of CNBC’s headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
