The Ga. Technology Authority let about 46 people go today. I don't know if they were all programmers and/or administrative type people.
Employees where I work are probably worried about where they will end up.

I work in Social Services, so it's RARE that we get laid off, but it could happen. The problem is that VA spent a lot of money when it had surplus funds due to the housing market, but since that's taken a nosedive, the State has had to readjust some things.
and stop paying people who walk in off the street a better salary than people who have been here for years and are already trained.
