By the numbers | Gannett's massive downsizing

As the company cuts loose hundreds of newspaper employees this week in a new round of layoffs, regulatory filings show the extent of payroll reductions over the past seven years. Key numbers, according to latest publicly available data:


52,600
number of employees at last peak year, 2005


30,700
number of employees end of last year


Earlier: year-by-year employment since 1994.
