"Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's budget office announced 76 new layoffs Thursday as the state continues to shed jobs to pare back spending amid budget deficits.
The layoffs included 60 at UConn Health in Farmington and 14 in the Department of Rehabilitation Services.
"This is a difficult process, one that we aim to ensure is done respectfully and legally," the budget office said.
The total number of state layoffs that will happen in 2016 and 2017 remains unclear, as departments reduce jobs through attrition and elimination of open positions in addition to layoffs. So far, 825 jobs have been eliminated in the executive branch, the Office of Policy and Management said, and hundreds more have been cut in the Judicial Branch.
A judicial spokeswoman said last month that there would ultimately be 500 fewer employees through layoffs, a hiring freeze and attrition."
