America’s top meat company is following in the footsteps of hedge fund Citadel and Boeing Inc. with plans to move white-collar workers out of the Chicago area.
Tyson Foods Inc. said Wednesday it’s shifting all of its corporate teams to its longtime headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas, the company said in a statement. That means about 1,000 employees from downtown Chicago and its Downers Grove suburb will relocate, as will workers in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota.
