A Rhode Island-based CVS is laying off 150 people. 

A spokesperson says the employees have already been told and that CVS is working with them to apply for other positions within the company. 

About half of the cuts are at the headquarters in Woonsocket. 

The layoffs will take place next month. 

CVS employs more than 200,000 people across the country.
