As the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s DOGE continues to lay off thousands of federal workers, Gov. Kathy Hochul is launching a new “You’re Hired” initiative to recruit talented public sector workers into state service.
“By coming to work for the Empire State, you’ll have the opportunity to help your neighbors, community and state in a variety of ways,” Hochul’s administration said.
