Budget could force layoffs of 2,000-3,000 state employees
The new $50.5 billion state budget could result in layoffs for from 2,000 to 3,000 state employees, Rep. Vernon Sykes, D-Akron, told Dayton Daily News reporter Laura Bischoff.
Sykes is chairman of the House-Senate budget conference committee that approved the budget on Monday, July 13. The House and Senate planned to vote on the budget and send it to Gov. Ted Strickland to sign on Monday.

I was laid off about 6 months ago. And it was definitely a tough time in my life. I hadn’t been in the job market in many years - and now I found my self in a very competitive one. One piece of advice is to have your resume professionally done. It is what gets you in the door with hiring managers. There are a number of services out there. They range in prices from $40 to $150. I went with a service that charged $49 and was very happy - so you don’t have to spend and arm and leg to get this done. I do believe it was worth it to me. I am employed now and quite relieved! I wish the best for all others job hunting out there. The service I used was ResumeSolutionsPro.com. Best of luck you you all!By rj

It would be better to just offer the people who are close to retirement a buyout. A lot more than 3,000 would be more than happy to go.By Haters!
