DETROIT — Detroit plans to cut 1,000 jobs by early next year to help deal with the city’s budget crisis and avoid the possibility of a state- appointed emergency financial manager, Mayor Dave Bing announced Friday.
The mayor’s office said that departments will identify their number of layoffs starting the week of Dec. 5 and layoff notices will be issued starting the week of Jan. 21. The administration said the cuts, which represent 9 percent of the city’s workforce of about 11,000 employees, will save about $14 million this fiscal year.
