Our layoff wave is over,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston told employees during a meeting Wednesday morning. “That is complete.”

After weeks of uncertainty, Denver employees are now finding out if they will be laid off. Mayor Mike Johnston's office said impacted employees would be notified Monday and Tuesday.

More city employees learned they were being laid off on Tuesday, as the City and County of Denver works to address a $200 million budget shortfall.

Mayor Mike Johnston said layoffs are needed to help close a $50 million deficit for the rest of this year, as well as a projected $200 million shortfall in 2026. The expected layoffs were announced last month.
