NY encourages federal workers to apply for state jobs
ALBANY, N.Y. (WCAX) – New York leaders are reaching out to laid-off federal workers with a different message — New York State is Hiring.
It comes as President Donald Trump — backed Elon Musk — continues to dismantle the federal bureaucracy, laying off thousands of workers and threatening to get rid of thousands more.
A new initiative by Hochul offers resources for federal workers interested in state service. The state launched the NY HELPS program, temporarily waiving civil service exam requirements for many job vacancies. The state also created 10 Centers for Careers in Government, offering job seekers guidance on civil service systems and career opportunities.
“Careers in public service offer stability, competitive pay, great benefits and a chance to make a difference in the lives of your fellow New Yorkers. I encourage all former federal workers with a continued interest in public service to check out the many careers in New York State government today,” New York Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon said in a statement.
