Governor Rick Scott hasn’t given up on his plan to layoff five percent of the state’s work force. At an editorial board meeting with the Associated Press Scott told reporters his jobs plans is moving forward. He says to reach his goal of creating 700-thousand jobs in seven years he’ll need to layoff about 5-thousand state workers.

“I’m going to work on reducing the workforce of state employees, my job is to grow private sector jobs and I believe that’s what I’m going to be able to do,” said Scott.

Scott promised to reduce government on the campaign trail. So far he’s put the state planes on the market and laid off about a dozen state aircraft employees.
