M&I adding 135 jobs in Brookfield

Milwaukee-based Marshall & Ilsley Corp. announced that it is "consolidating the back room operations" of its Appleton and Brookfield offices. The consolidation will result in the elimination of 170 jobs in Appleton, but 135 new positions will be created in Brookfield, the company said.
"These positions (in Brookfield) will be offered to the 170 displaced Appleton employees," said Sara Schmitz, spokeswoman for Marshall & Ilsley. "Those electing not to accept one of these positions will be offered a severance package."
