  If you happen to be a developer and your are asked to do this you can take the following route.
  
  Create a new extension.
  Identify the class that generates the unwanted field. For example, the employer field is created by CRM_Contact_Page_View_Summary.
  Add a template in your extension with the same name (and directory) as the template that belongs to this class, with only one difference. Add extra before the .tpl. So for CRM_Contact_Page_View_Summary the template is \templates\CRM\Contact\Page\View\Summary.extra.tpl. The contents of this template wil be appended to the regular template.
  Add some javascript code that hides the field. 
  
  Example:
   {literal}
   
   {/literal}
