Layoffs Hit State Office As Funds Run Out
State unemployment agencies face deep cuts as federal funds shrink. Everett Bullock and others at the Mt. Vernon Illinois State Employment Service office learn their last day is imminent. Officials warn a major, short-term layoff could stretch into July with recalls uncertain. The crisis stems from federal budget cuts. Governor Walker regrets the decision but cannot alter it. Administrative cuts leave Jefferson, Hamilton, Wayne, and Washington counties with fewer staff, reducing help for thousands of unemployed. Summer unemployment peaks worsen the impact, with rehiring to occur July 1 on a seniority basis, delaying some workers' return.
