GOVERNMENT LAY OFFS ON THE RISE IN CALIFORNIA

In past economic downtimes, CA state and government employees have been pretty safe from layoffs. However, times are changing --- and not necessarily for the better. The Labor Department’s recent report on jobs in September showed that 53,000 fewer government workers were at their desks compared with August. This means that many state and government employees are being let go. If you have recently been laid off, make sure it is for legal reasons.

It is against the law in CA for your employer, even if it is the state or county, to fire you because of your race, gender, age, nationality, or religion. If you believe that your termination was a result of discrimination, you need to stand up for your rights. You could win thousands of dollars in court with the help of an experienced employment lawyer.
