Update: Twenty employees were laid off. An additional eight open positions were eliminated. Publisher Jerome Ferson blamed the weak economy: “We’re seeing a very uneven environment. Revenues for The Ledger continue to stabilize for the most part, however, costs are escalating and so we’re having to adjust. The basis for the reduction is just to size the company accordingly to the new economic realities.” Do you know more about the layoffs?
