This report analyzes the broad impact of furloughing state employees
for three days a month or the equivalent of a loss of seven weeks of pay,
compared to a single monthly mandatory furlough day. It concludes that the
expanded furloughs will save the general fund just 12 cents for every dollar
cut in wages and benefits.
