The High Cost of Furloughs 
» Press Release
» Press Coverage
October 2009, by Ken Jacobs
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.
