Allstate Lays Off More Employees In Va.

June 27--Allstate Corp. has confirmed for the third time in about three months that layoffs have occurred at its 900-employee Roanoke County office complex.

Company spokesman Adam Polak said Thursday that "some" employees were notified this week they were being terminated. He did not say how many and declined to give numbers when he confirmed layoffs in late May and April.

"Allstate continuously reviews its business operations, aiming to increase efficiency and effectiveness," Polak said by email.

The insurance company, whose offices are on Electric Road, is one of Roanoke County's largest employers.
