321 jobs cut to balance a $200M budget shortfall
that calculates to approximately $600K per job. any of these jobs below look like they deserve $600K per year? Keep in mind that $600K is the average.
includes:
-156 positions from the court system
-100 from the Cook County Sheriff’s Department
-34 from the hospital system
-15 from the board president’s office
I imagine a significant chunk went to insurance and such benefits, training, facility overhead, pensions (I’m guessing), and “overtime.”
But yeah, I’ll bet they all drew a comfortable salary for whatever it was they did. I’d probably be begging to get back in, too!
