Sun Microsystems Inc. said it will lay off 24 employees in King of Prussia as part of a nationwide staff cut of about 6,000 workers.

The reductions will include eight layoffs in Pittsburgh and four in Lemoyne, near Harrisburg.

The Pennsylvania layoffs were disclosed by Sun in a required notice to the state. Sun, a Santa Clara, Calif., maker of computer servers, announced its plans in November in a restructuring aimed at saving $700 million to $800 million a year. The company cited slumping sales.

Company shares were trading this afternoon at $8.11, up 11 cents (1.38 percent).    -Paul Schweizer
