The state isn't going to be hiring new employees while we figure out how much the financial meltdown is going to lower state revenues.
Gov. Ritter announced the freeze today. It technically takes effect on Oct. 1, but it applies to any jobs that haven't been offered and accepted by Sept 29th.
No General-Funded and Cash-Funded positions can be filled unless OSPB grants an exemption.
The freeze doesn't apply essential personnel including jobs critical to protecting health, life and safety.
The Governor's order only applies to the executive branch, but other parts of the state will probably go along to some extent. Other parts are those run by independently-elected officers, like the Secretary of State, the Attorney General and the Treasurer, the Judiciary and Higher Education.
