Hewlett-Packard could layoff about 9,000 U.S. workers as part of its plan to slash 27,000 jobs by the end of its fiscal year in 2014, a source close to the company said Tuesday.

HP said in May that it was trimming its workforce by 8 percent.

How many of those jobs HP will cut in Fort Collins remained unclear, though the reduction was expected to affect almost every business and region.

The company has not released its Fort Collins employment numbers, though it is estimated to employ 1,200 to 1,500 people here, according to the Northern Colorado Economic Development Corp.

HP's restructuring will lead to as much as $3.5 billion in savings by the end of its 2014 fiscal year, according to the company.
