The Finance Department announced that the goal of eliminating 10,000 unfilled government jobs was reduced, citing the need to preserve public safety positions.
California's Finance Director Joe Stephenshaw confirmed that fewer vacant positions were eliminated to protect vital resources in public safety and emergency services.
Anica Walls, president of Local 1000, emphasized that vacant roles affect staffing levels and lead to increased strain on the remaining workforce.
California saved $1.2 billion by not filling 6,500 positions during a planned vacancy sweep of government jobs.
