Black Friday for all state government employees

If you're a state employee in Arkansas or 31 other states, you're not expected to report to work this morning. In Colorado, state workers can choose to take one day off from the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve, so long as all offices state open on those days. A spokesman for the Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration says that "citizens expect to have their state employees working for them, and we work hard to make sure that their needs are met." While not officially a state holiday in Arkansas, Governor Beebe signed an executive order giving state employees Friday off. Click the image to see a readable version.
