UPDATE: City workers hit OT jackpot

The Los Angeles Daily News covers the ever growing government salary roles of Los Angeles in this second of a two part series aimed at showing the growth of higher range salary levels in LA.

More than two-thirds of Los Angeles city workers earned overtime last year, totaling $355 million, even as the mayor issued a directive to curtail such payouts, a Daily News review has found.

More than 29,000 employees worked overtime in the 12 months through April, with nearly 1,500 earning more than $50,000 each in overtime pay alone.
