State government is on track to shed at least 1,200 jobs in January, Gov. Chris Christie said today.

"Whether it will grow beyond that, I don't know," he said at a Statehouse press conference. "That's very much going to be dependent on what the revenue outlook looks like for the state."

The job cuts include layoffs and attrition, spokesman Michael Drewniak said.

Government departments have begun submitting plans to the Civil Service Commission on where they plan to lay off workers, spokesman Peter Lyden said.

It's a start. Should be happening all over the country, at both the state and federal level.
