Cuts to State Worker Pay Hit Unevenly Across Departments
A new analysis shows that the departments of Health Services and Developmental Services were among those most affected by efforts to address California's budget deficit last year because the cuts resulted in less staff and reduced staff pay. Overall, state pay to civil service and California State University employees declined by about 4% from 2008 to 2009.
