Hi TeaOla,
I mean working for the city is better than working for the county, and county is better than for state. Yeah, the job is stable. A few years back, when the economy was bad we had to go through furlough (?) I think. They required us to give up 4 hours a month to save the State some money. That only lasted a few months. Some old timer here told me that way back in time there was a downsizing once but that happened to non-essential personnel such as contractors and custodians. Those usually go first. People that been around for more than 5 years were okay. Unless the whole system shuts down they'd always need people to keep it running, right? :)
