It is the second round of layoffs at the location in six months.

Bank of America also said Thursday that it is transferring 540 local workers’ jobs to another division within the Villa Park Drive center. Those employees come from the default servicing and home loan fulfillment divisions and will now work in banking credit and consumer deposits divisions.
