Shoes of laid off Camden police officers line a street Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2011, in Camden, N.J. The layoffs affect close to one-fourth of the city government workforce in one of the nation's most impoverished cities. About 335 workers, representing one-sixth of the local government work force, lost their jobs, according to Mayor Dana Redd. It was worst in the public safety departments, where nearly half the police force and close to one-third of the city's firefighters were laid off. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
