Union leaders in Puerto Rico say they expect thousands more civil servants to be laid off within the next two months.
About 2,400 government employees were laid off on Friday in the latest job cuts.
Last March, Governor Luis Fortuno said more than 20,000 layoffs were needed to reduce a $3.2 billion deficit and avoid a government shutdown.
