About 125 employees of the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development have been told their jobs are being eliminated and career job services will no longer be provided at 34 locations across the state.
Jeff Hentschel, spokesman for the agency, said most of the affected employees were told of the layoffs in a meeting today. A budget deficit is being blamed for the layoffs.
Hentschel said that not all 34 offices will be closing because they are shared with other agencies, but career services will no longer be available at those so-called satellite offices.
