No government layoffs? You’re kidding, right?

I heard a complaint the other day — never mind where; I don’t want to embarrass the guy — to the effect that the layoffs in the current economic crisis are all coming in the private sector but not from government payrolls.
In reality, state and local governments, faced with sharp declines in tax revenues, are laying people off by the tens of thousands.
Fully seven months ago, before the crisis deepened, there was THIS STORY about government layoffs.
Now, as the situation worsens, we see stories like THISÂ and THISÂ and THIS.
Granted, on the whole, state and local government jobs actually increased last year, but that was mostly under provisions of budgets that had been adopted months beforehand. As new fiscal years approach, and as governments struggle with severe budget pressures, layoffs will abound.
