Hearst also cuts 48 jobs in Connecticut

On the same day that it ended print publication of the Seattle P-I the Hearst Corp. announced that 48 people at its various Connecticut papers will be taking buyouts, representing almost 7 percent of the 700 employed here.

Considering that these are buyouts, rather than layoffs, I suppose that they represent the high end of the compensation scale and therefore the papers are probably saving more than 7 percent in salary costs.
