This is just the beginning of the layoffs at museums and other agencies in states that are in financial trouble, and many of them are in very serious trouble right now. This is going to end up in a secondary impact on the economy in the next few months as emergency reductions in state spending have a "trickle down" effect through increased unemployment as well as through cutbacks at companies that do business with the state agencies.
