California Jobs to be Eliminated

The notices will start going out Tuesday to 20,000 workers in corrections, health and human services and other agencies that receive money from the general fund. Administration officials are seeking to eliminate up to 10,000 jobs as part of the governor's order to cut 10 percent from the government payroll.

The state is strapped for cash in its main budget account. Republican legislative leaders on Monday blocked an effort by Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to transfer funds into the account.
