Summary

Wells Fargo is planning an additional round of layoffs at its West Des Moines campus, with the Iowa WARN website reporting 14 workers will be laid off effective October 17, 2026. The article notes that, including this planned action, a total of 322 Wells Fargo employees in the Des Moines metro have been let go so far this year.
