The Missouri Department of Transportation’s cost-cutting efforts have meant demotions and pay cuts for just less than a quarter of employees who have kept jobs or gotten new ones, The Jefferson City News Tribune reports.

The first round of staff changes meant 166 employees were moved to lower-level jobs, but 56 of those have left or are competing for other MoDOT jobs, the report said. Altogether, 482 employees were put in positions through appointment or a competitive process.
