In June, McClatchy also announced a trim to its work force by about 10 percent, which meant the loss of 1,400 full-time jobs and savings of $70 million a year. Two months later, it announced a one-year pay freeze for remaining employees effective Sept. 1.

The June layoffs included 16 people at the Statesman, which also said 22 pressroom workers would lose their jobs when the newspaper starts being printed at the Idaho Press-Tribune in Nampa early next year. The Statesman also has not filled some newsroom and other positions.
