Cisco Systems (CSCO:Nasdaq - news) is adding to the ranks of the unemployed, cutting 5% of its staff, according to a report from Reuters.

The networking giant will reportedly make the cuts in the coming weeks to adjust for a sharp downturn in business, according to the report, which cites a "source close to the company." The layoffs will affect the company's full-time employees. Cisco already announced a hiring freeze and a reduction in contract workers.

Cisco already announced when it cut its revenue forecast on Feb. 6 that it was making efforts to cut costs.

Thursday, chipmaking heavyweight Intel (INTC:Nasdaq - news) announced its was cutting 5,000 jobs and that its first-quarter revenue would fall about 25%.
