The official receiver to Carillion has said 78 more workers will lose their jobs this week.
It will bring the total number of people forced out of work by the crisis at the company to 1,536.
The Wolverhampton-based firm went bust in January.
However, 305 employees who work on facilities management, defence and construction contracts have been found employment with new suppliers, the receiver said.
It means 8,521 jobs have now been saved.
The receiver added: "Discussions with potential purchasers for Carillion’s remaining contracts are continuing."
