Government at Work - Freezing Jobs?
I guess it depends on the meaning of "absolutely essential".

Delen Goldberg reports on the Syracuse.com website:
"Gov. David Paterson ordered a “hard” hiring freeze in state government nearly two years ago, declaring that only 'absolutely essential' positions be filled.
But state officials hired 51,464 people at a cost to taxpayers of more than $1 billion in salaries, plus fringe benefits, since that decree on July 30, 2008.
