In addition to the job cuts, Barclays will focus on its business in the U.S., U.K. and Africa. It will also create a "bad bank" of under-performing assets that it wants to take off its balance sheet. Consider this a shift away from riskier banking toward retail banking.

Here's a breakdown of where those cuts are going to happen. In the front office, there will be approximately 7,000 folks losing their jobs. Even managing directors will be cut.
