The Walt Disney Company announced the company is relocating about 2,000 jobs from Southern California to Florida.
The company is building a new facility, east of Disney World, where the workers will be based.
Most of the workers relocating hold positions involving digital technology, finance and product development in Disney’s theme parks division who are not working at Disneyland or for the international theme parks.
Disney says the relocation will allow a more collaborative work-flow. Employees will have a lower cost of living, with no state income tax. The company said affected workers will be offered moving assistance.
There was no timetable announced for the construction of the facility or when employees would need to relocate.
