Nielsen’s NRG Cuts a Dozen Jobs Amid Possible Sale

Deadline: About a dozen people have been fired in the Los Angeles office of National Research Group, as owner Nielsen prepares the company for a sale. Sources said talks have been ongoing to sell the research unit. In June, Nielsen hired banker Jordan Edmiston to explore a possible sale of NRG, which is one of the largest companies in entertainment that provides market research — that critically important film tracking — to the movie studios.
