Levi Strauss, jolted by coronavirus-linked shutdowns of its retail stores, has decided to chop 700 corporate jobs, the legendary maker of denim jeans said Tuesday.

“The second-quarter results highlight the difficult external environment we’ve been navigating the last several months,” Chip Bergh, Levi Strauss president and chief executive officer, said in an email distributed Tuesday to the retailer’s employees.
