City of Seattle Jobs Saved for Now
Thursday, February 4th, 2010Hundreds of City of Seattle jobs previously slated to be cut will be saved … at least for now.
After announcing that 200 Seattle city workers would lose their jobs, Mayor Mike McGinn recently said he would postpone those layoffs in an effort to boost employee morale. According to an article by The Seattle Times, those cuts were expected to affect senior managers, executives and strategic advisers.
Aside from wanting to maintain employee morale, McGinn said he has now learned the anticipated city budget deficit will most likely be worse than he originally thought, meaning more than 200 jobs may need to be cut.
