The total number of employees in a company is 450, and each employee earns $2000 per month. If the company laid off 1/3 of its employees due to tough economic times, calculate the total amount of money the company paid to the remaining employees. Think carefully first, then make a decision:

1 / 3 of the employees were laid off, that is 1 / 3 * 450 = 150 employees. There were 450 - 150 = 300 employees remaining. If the company was paying each person $2000, the total amount of money paid to the remaining employees is 300 * 2000 = $600000. So, the answer is 600000.
