As hospitals around the country cut labor and hours, some service workers at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, N.Y., have actually raked in more than $80,000 in overtime pay last year, according to a New York Daily News report.
Three housekeepers and a service aide at JMC, who normally make $33,000 in base salary, each earned an average of $120,000 last year, the report said. Over the past two years, the number of workers at New York City's 11 hospitals has been reduced by roughly 2,600.
Consequently, the overtime bills at city hospitals have skyrocketed 34 percent since 2007.
