Layoff Notices for 20,000 California Workers Sent Out
-----------------------------------------------------



In other economic news, California plans to send notices to 20,000 state
workers today that their jobs may be eliminated due to budget cuts. The
announcement came a day after California lawmakers failed to pass a $40

tax hikes and spending cuts.
