DLet the fun begin... So much for the green shots and signs of recovery... We are shedding more jobs than ever... Anyhow, State of Pennsylvania Layoffs 2009 are just beginning...
Oct 2009 - Gov. Ed Rendell said hundreds of layoffs are coming in November because of cuts in the state budget.
But that is about all he is saying, and the lack of information is putting the more than 76,000 people who work for the state on edge.
Rendell's office is being tight-lipped about the impending round of job cuts.
When called for more information Monday, officials would only confirm that the number of layoffs will likely be in the hundreds.
Officials also said that notices of the job cuts will likely be handed out next month.
An exact number of jobs and which positions are being cut are still being worked out by department leaders, who are calculating the impact of the state budget.This is all sad, these folks will have nowhere to go...
