Hadn’t seen the exact number up to this point, but the Olympian politics blog appears to have it: 1,316.
That’s the decrease in the number of jobs paid by state government from the current budget year to the next one, which starts next week.
The percentage decrease isn’t really enormous; the post says that the full-time equivalent jobs in the state currently number 107,807.
But: you have to go back to 2005, six years, to get to the point when the job number was the same size as it will be starting July 1.
