Indiana State Departments See Position Cuts
- This week, multiple Indiana state agencies, including those in education and commerce, announced the removal of at least 131 jobs as part of workforce reductions initiated under the Braun Administration.
- The layoffs were implemented in response to budget cuts needed to address a $2 billion deficit identified in a mid-April revenue projection affected by federal tariffs and economic volatility.
- Affected agencies prioritized not filling vacancies and reduced 39 staff in four education-related agencies while Indiana Economic Development Corp. cut 12 positions, saving approximately $7.4 million annually.
- Courtney Bearsch emphasized that the decision was made with careful consideration, while Erin Sweitzer noted that the cuts reflect Governor Braun’s focus on workforce upskilling and advancing business development initiatives.
- These staffing changes follow the new two-year spending plan signed last month and indicate continued fiscal restraint to maintain essential services amid declining revenues.
